Keikha M, Karbalaei M. Global distribution of heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus strains (1997-2021): a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Glob Antimicrob Resist 2024; 37:11-21. [PMID: 38336227 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgar.2024.02.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus is considered one of the main causes in treatment failure of vancomycin, which leads to poor clinical outcomes. Herein, we comprehensively evaluated characteristics such as global prevalence, trend, and genetic backgrounds of these strains. METHODS In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis based on PRISMA checklist 2020. In the beginning, global databases were searched to achieve the studies related to the prevalence of hVISA in clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. After retrieving the eligible English studies, the prevalence of hVISA isolates and their trend changes were assessed using event rate with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS In the present study, the prevalence of 114 801 MRSA isolates (of 124 studies) was 64%. According to our results, although the frequency of infection with hVISA is increasing in recent years, there is not a significant difference between Asian countries and Europe/America (6.1% vs. 6.8%). In addition, infection with hVISA bacteria was higher in bacteraemic patients than other infections (9.4% vs. 5.5%), which increases hospitalization, treatment costs, and mortality in these patients. Isolates harbouring SCCmec types II and III are most common genotypes in hVISA strains. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of hVISA is increasing, which will reduce the effectiveness of vancomycin treatment in the coming years. The presence of hVISA stains in blood samples was higher than the other samples, which is threatening for bacteraemic patients. The results of the current study indicate a universal program to identify and control the spread of such strains in nosocomial infections.

Abstract
Reduced susceptibility and emergence of resistance to vancomycin in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have led to the development of various vancomycin based combinations. Nemonoxacin is a novel nonfluorinated quinolone with antibacterial activity against MRSA. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of nemonoxacin on antibacterial activity and the anti-resistant mutation ability of vancomycin for MRSA and explore whether quinolone resistance genes are associated with a reduction in the vancomycin minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and mutant prevention concentration (MPC) when combined with nemonoxacin. Four isolates, all with a vancomycin MIC of 2 μg/mL, were used in a modified in vitro dynamic pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model to investigate the effects of nemonoxacin on antibacterial activity (M04, M23 and M24) and anti-resistant mutation ability (M04, M23 and M25, all with MPC ≥19.2 μg/mL) of vancomycin. The mutation sites of gyrA, gyrB, parC, and parE of 55 clinical MRSA isolates were sequenced. We observed that in M04 and M23, the combination of vancomycin (1g q12h) and nemonoxacin (0.5g qd) showed a synergistic bactericidal activity and resistance enrichment suppression. All clinical isolates resistant to nemonoxacin harbored gyrA (S84→L) mutation; gyrA (S84→L) and parC (E84→K) mutations were the two independent risk factors for the unchanged vancomycin MPC in combination. Nemonoxacin enhances the bactericidal activity and suppresses resistance enrichment ability of vancomycin against MRSA with a MIC of 2 μg/mL. Our in vitro data support the combination of nemonoxacin and vancomycin for the treatment of MRSA infection with a high MIC.

Abstract
The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has facilitated the growing resistance of bacteria, and this has become a serious public health problem worldwide. Several microorganisms are still resistant to multiple antibiotics and are particularly dangerous in the hospital and nursing home environment, and to patients whose care requires devices, such as ventilators and intravenous catheters. A list of twelve pathogenic genera, which especially included bacteria that were not affected by different antibiotics, was released by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017, and the research and development of new antibiotics against these genera has been considered a priority. The nanotechnology is a tool that offers an effective platform for altering the physicalchemical properties of different materials, thereby enabling the development of several biomedical applications. Owing to their large surface area and high reactivity, metallic particles on the nanometric scale have remarkable physical, chemical, and biological properties. Nanoparticles with sizes between 1 and 100 nm have several applications, mainly as new antimicrobial agents for the control of microorganisms. In the present review, more than 200 reports of various metallic nanoparticles, especially those containing copper, gold, platinum, silver, titanium, and zinc were analyzed with regard to their anti-bacterial activity. However, of these 200 studies, only 42 reported about trials conducted against the resistant bacteria considered a priority by the WHO. All studies are in the initial stage, and none are in the clinical phase of research.

Abstract
Recent genomic studies of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have revealed genetic diversity in the various clonal lineages. Along with clinical concerns of MRSA infection, infection with heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (hVISA) is closely associated with treatment failure. In this study, we investigated the magnitude of genetic variation and features at the genomic level of hVISA strains isolated in South Korea. Four hVISA strains were analyzed by molecular epidemiology, antimicrobial susceptibility, and whole-genome sequencing methods, and they were compared with the reference VISA and vancomycin-susceptible S. aureus strains in the same clonal lineage. The epidemiologic features of hVISA strains were closely related to the ST5 and ST239 clones. Comparative analysis of the whole genome showed genetic mutations, particularly in two-component systems (TCSs) and transcriptional regulators. Genetic mutations in walK were commonly found in both ST5- (F545L, E378K, T500K) and ST239-related (E424D, T492R) hVISA strains. hVISA strains in the ST5 clonal lineage contained mutations in TCS genes, including the walK, vraR, and agr loci, whereas ST239-related strains harbored different genetic variations in walK, lytR, and saeR. This study suggests that the diverse genetic variation of TCSs and transcriptional regulators are involved in reduced vancomycin susceptibility through different mechanisms in each clonal lineage.

Genetic Factors Associated with Increased Host Defense Antimicrobial Peptide Resistance in Sequence Type 5 Healthcare-Associated MRSA Clinical Isolates. Biomolecules 2020; 10:biom10101415. [PMID: 33036325 PMCID: PMC7599770 DOI: 10.3390/biom10101415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2020] [Revised: 09/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Sequence type (ST) 72 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) type IV (ST72-MRSA-IV) and ST5-MRSA-II are the most significant lineages found in community-associated (CA) and healthcare-associated (HA) environments in Korea, respectively. ST5 HA-MRSA-II tend to display enhanced resistance to host defense-cationic antimicrobial peptides (HD-CAPs) compared to ST72 CA-MRSA-IV and ST72 livestock-associated (LA)-MRSA-IV due to mechanisms involving a higher surface positive charge. Thus, the present study explored the genetic factors contributing to the enhanced HD-CAP resistance phenotype in ST5 MRSA strains. The ST5 HA-MRSA-II strains displayed higher levels of mprF and dltABCD expression compared to the ST72 CA-/LA-MRSA-IV strains. The increase in expression of mprF and dltABCD in ST5 HA-MRSA-II strains was correlated with dysregulation of the upstream transcriptional regulator, graRS. However, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within mprF and graRS ORFs were not involved in the enhanced surface positive charge or the altered expression of mprF/dltABCD.

Abstract
Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA), Vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) and heterogeneous VISA (hVISA) are subject to vancomycin treatment failure. The aim of the present study was to determine their precise prevalence and investigate prevalence variability depending on different years and locations. Several international databases including Medline (PubMed), Embase and Web of Sciences were searched (data from 1997 to 2019) to identify studies that addressed the prevalence of VRSA, VISA and hVISA among human clinical isolates around the world. Subgroup analyses and meta-regression were conducted to indicate potential source of variation. Publication bias was assessed using Egger's test. Statistical analyses were conducted using STATA software (version 14.0). Data analysis showed that VRSA, VISA and hVISA isolates were reported in 23, 50 and 82 studies, with an overall prevalence of 1.5% among 5855 S. aureus isolates, 1.7% among 22,277 strains and 4.6% among 47,721 strains, respectively. The overall prevalence of VRSA, VISA, and hVISA before 2010 was 1.2%, 1.2%, and 4%, respectively, while their prevalence after this year has reached 2.4%, 4.3%, and 5.3%. The results of this study showed that the frequency of VRSA, VISA and hVISA after 2010 represent a 2.0, 3.6 and 1.3-fold increase over prior years. In a subgroup analysis of different strain origins, the highest frequency of VRSA (3.6%) and hVISA (5.2%) was encountered in the USA while VISA (2.1%) was more prevalent in Asia. Meta-regression analysis showed significant increasing of VISA prevalence in recent years (p value ≤ 0.05). Based on the results of case reports (which were not included in the calculations mentioned above), the numbers of VRSA, VISA and hVISA isolates were 12, 24 and 14, respectively, among different continents. Since the prevalence of VRSA, VISA and hVISA has been increasing in recent years (especially in the Asian and American continents), rigorous monitoring of vancomycin treatment, it's the therapeutic response and the definition of appropriate control guidelines depending on geographical regions is highly recommended and essential to prevent the further spread of vancomycin-resistant S. aureus.

Potential role of host defense antimicrobial peptide resistance in increased virulence of health care-associated MRSA strains of sequence type (ST) 5 versus livestock-associated and community-associated MRSA strains of ST72. Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis 2018; 62:13-18.

Abstract
The most significant community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) in Korea is sequence type (ST) 72 with staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) type IV (ST72-MRSA-IV). Although the impact of CA-MRSA on the clinical outcomes versus healthcare-associated (HA)-MRSA remains unclear, it has recently been revealed that ST5 HA-MRSA-II is associated with higher mortality compared with ST72 CA-MRSA-IV, suggesting higher virulence in ST5 HA-MRSA-II strains. In this investigation, human-/animal-originated ST72-MRSA-IV strains were examined for virulence phenotypes and compared with those of ST5-MRSA-II strains, the established HA-MRSA in Korea. Overall, ST5 HA-MRSA-II strains demonstrated higher levels of resistance to host defense-cationic antimicrobial peptides of human (LL-37), bovine (BMAP-28), and bacterial (polymyxin B) origins versus ST72-MRSA-IV strains via enhanced surface positive charge. Hemolysis profiles, gelatinase activity, and staphylococcal superantigen gene profiles were not different between ST72 CA-MRSA and ST5 HA-MRSA strains. However, ST5 HA-MRSA strains were able to downregulate initial cytokine response in murine macrophages.

Abstract
AIM Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a virulent cytotoxin and an indicator of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infection. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence and clinical and molecular characteristics of PVL-positive invasive S. aureus (ISA) infections in Korea. RESULTS A collection of 1,962 nonduplicate clinical isolates were screened for multilocus sequence typing, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec), accessory gene regulator typing, major toxins, and antimicrobial susceptibility. Twenty-eight (1.4%) PVL-positive S. aureus samples were found; of them 19 (67.9%) were MRSA (8 CA and 11 healthcare-associated infections). Seventeen patients (60.7%) were men (median age: 63 years; range: 13-93 years) and 12 patients (42.9%) had no underlying comorbidities. The most common infections were skin and skin structure infection (SSSI) and pneumonia. The 30-day mortality rate was 37.0%. The most common PVL-positive MRSA clones were ST8-SCCmec IVa and ST30-SCCmec IVc along with their single-locus variants. Antimicrobial susceptibility and toxin-gene profile differed according to the clone. CONCLUSIONS ISA infections caused by PVL-positive strains are rare in Korea, with the two most common infections being SSSI and pneumonia. Our findings indicated that several PVL-positive MRSA clones, predominantly ST8-SCCmecIVa and ST30-SCCmecIVc, were circulating and causing sporadic cases of ISA infections in the community and hospital settings.

Abstract
This study was conducted to assess emergence of daptomycin-nonsusceptible (DAP-NS) phenotype in DAP-naive patients with invasive Staphylococcus aureus (ISA) infections in Korea. A total of 208 S. aureus clinical isolates were selected from a previous prospective study on ISA infections and evaluated for DAP-NS. Although DAP has never been introduced in Korea, five DAP-NS S. aureus strains (2.4%) were identified among 208 S. aureus strains collected from ISA infections. The DAP-NS phenotype was observed only in methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains, but not in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus strains. One DAP-NS MRSA strain belonged to sequence type 72 (ST72) and four were ST5 MRSA strains, three of which were heteroresistant vancomycin (VAN)-intermediate S. aureus. All these five DAP-NS MRSA strains were from healthcare-associated infections without prior exposure to VAN within 30 days. While the ST72 MRSA strain exhibited DAP-NS phenotype via charge repulsion mechanism, four ST5 DAP-NS S. aureus strains had charge-independent DAP-NS mechanism. None of the five DAP-NS strains displayed significant increase in cell wall thickness, indicating that altered cell wall thickness was not associated with the observed DAP-NS phenotype.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (MRSAB) often persists despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. It is unclear what microbiological factors contribute to poor clinical outcomes in persistent MRSAB (pMRSAB). We aimed to identify clinical and microbiological risk factors for in-hospital mortality in pMRSAB. We analysed MRSAB cases prospectively collected between 2009 and 2016 at 11 hospitals in Korea, defining cases of pMRSAB as MRSAB lasting ≥5 days despite administration of effective antibiotics. The first blood isolates from the pMRSAB cases were tested for staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type, staphylococcal protein A type, accessary gene regulator (agr) type, genes for Panton-Valentine leukocidin and phenol-soluble modulin-mec, vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration, vancomycin heteroresistance, and agr functionality. We also collected clinical information for each case. Of 960 MRSAB cases, 152 pMRSAB were finally eligible. Univariable analysis revealed that in-hospital mortality was significantly associated with Charlson's comorbidity-weighted index (CCWI) score, Pitt bacteremia score, sequential organ failure assessment score, presentation with septic shock, pneumonia, agr dysfunction, and vancomycin heteroresistance. Bone and joint infections were negatively associated with in-hospital mortality. Multivariable analysis revealed the following independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality: CCWI score [adjusted odds ratio (aOR), per one point, 1.25; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.08-1.44; P = 0.003), Pitt bacteremia score (aOR, per one point, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.09-1.62; P = 0.005), non-eradicated foci of infection (aOR, 3.12; 95% CI, 1.18-8.27; P = 0.022), and agr dysfunction (aOR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.12-5.47; P = 0.025). agr dysfunction is an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality in pMRSAB.

Abstract
We investigated the prevalence of heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) among methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) blood isolates collected from Korean hospitals. The hVISA prevalence in Korean hospitals has decreased during the past decade and the most significant decrease of hVISA prevalence was observed among the ST5 MRSA.
