Ham CH, Kwon WK, Moon HJ, Kim JH, Park YK, Hofstetter CP. Use of prophylactic perioperative antibiotics for lumbar spinal fusions: A nationwide population-based cohort study. J Infect Public Health 2023; 16:354-360. [PMID: 36682101 DOI: 10.1016/j.jiph.2023.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 12/28/2022] [Accepted: 01/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative prophylactic antibiotic (PPA) use in spine surgery is known to reduce the rate of surgical site infections. In the past decade, several evidence-based guidelines have been published and surveillance systems to monitor the proper use of antimicrobials had been adapted by many institutes. OBJECTIVE To report the trends of PPA prescription in lumbar fusion surgeries nationwide in the Republic of Korea. METHODS This is a nationwide registry study. Using the population-based data from the Republic of Korea provided by the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, data of all lumbar spinal fusion surgeries performed between 2010 and 2018 in adult patients (age ≥19 years) were reviewed. RESULTS The most frequently used antibiotics were first-generation cephalosporins, which accounted for 38.2 % of total PPA prescriptions and were prescribed in 58.96 % of lumbar fusion surgeries. A gradual increase in prescription trends was observed. The second most frequently used PPAs were second-generation cephalosporins, which showed decrease in use from 2016. The frequency of vancomycin prescriptions gradually increased over the observation period and showed an almost four-fold increase in 2018 compared to 2010. First- and second-generation cephalosporins were prescribed less frequently to patients with renal disease. CONCLUSION The pattern of PPA use has changed remarkably over the observation period. Furthermore, specific differences in PPA prescriptions were observed among patients with certain co-morbidities.

Clinical and Microbiological Characteristics of Hospital-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia Caused by a Community-Associated PVL-Negative Strain. Open Forum Infect Dis 2021; 8:ofab424. [PMID: 34676275 PMCID: PMC8527597 DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofab424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2021] [Accepted: 08/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background ST72-SCCmecIV, a community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) strain in Korea, originated in the community and has been spreading in health care settings. Herein, we describe the clinical and microbiological characteristics of patients with hospital-acquired MRSA bacteremia (MRSAB) caused by community-associated strains. Methods We analyzed hospital-acquired MRSAB cases caused by ST72-SCCmecIV using a prospective cohort of patients with SAB in a tertiary hospital in Korea from July 2008 to December 2018. We compared the clinical and microbiological characteristics of ST72-SCCmecIV with ST5-SCCmecII, a representative hospital-associated genotype strain. Results Of the 1782 S. aureus bacteremia (SAB) cases, 628 (35.2%) were hospital-acquired MRSAB. Of the 628 isolates, 431 (68.6%) were ST5-SCCmecII and 152 (24.2%) were ST72-SCCmecIV. Patients with ST72-SCCmecIV were younger than those with ST5-SCCmecII and less likely to have a history of recent surgery, antibiotic treatment, nasal MRSA colonization, and central venous catheter placement. Compared with ST5-SCCmecII, ST72-SCCmecIV isolates were more likely to have vancomycin MICs ≤1.0 mg/L (P < .001). Osteoarticular infection as the site of infection (7.2% [11/152] vs 1.4% [6/431]) was more common in patients with ST72-SCCmecIV. There were no significant differences in the rate of recurrence (≤90 days), persistent bacteremia (≥7 days), or 30- and 90-day mortality rates between the 2 groups. Conclusions Osteoarticular infections were more prevalent in ST72-SCCmecIV MRSAB. Mortality rates between the ST72-SCCmecIV and ST5-SCCmecII groups were not significantly different.

Abstract
Background Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) strains were first detected in hospitals in Korea between the late 2000s and early 2010s. However, there is limited information regarding the prevalence of CA-MRSA strains among hospital isolates and their phenotypic changes over the last decade. We investigated the prevalence trend of CA-MRSA strains isolated from different clinical specimens and their phenotypic changes between September 2009 and September 2019. Methods CA-MRSA strains were phenotypically identified by confirming their resistance to penicillin (PCN) and oxacillin (OXA) and evaluating their susceptibility to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, rifampin, fusidic acid, tetracycline, and at least one of the following four antimicrobials: clindamycin (CLI), erythromycin (ERY), ciprofloxacin (CIP), and gentamicin (GEN). A CA-MRSA strain that exhibited resistance to ERY, CLI, CIP, or GEN was classified as having resistance pattern I, II, III, or IV, respectively, regardless of its resistance to other antimicrobial agents. Results Of the 8,278 MRSA isolates identified in specimens obtained two days after admission, 1,385 (16.73%) were CA-MRSA strains. The prevalence of CA-MRSA strains increased from 12.2% to 26.6% (3.21% per period, P=0.05). Resistance type analysis revealed an increasing trend in the prevalence of PCN/OXA-resistant (1.84%; P=0.049) and PCN/OXA/ERY/CLI/CIP-resistant (0.98%; P=0.04) CA-MRSA strains and in resistance pattern III strains (2.08%; P=0.004). Conclusions The prevalence of CA-MRSA strains in Korea has increased significantly over the last decade, and CA-MRSA strains have gained phenotypic diversity beyond PCN/OXA-resistance, including antimicrobial resistance to non-β-lactams, especially CIP.

Distribution and Antibiotics Resistance Pattern of Community-Acquired Methicillin-Resistance Staphylococcus aureus in Southwestern Nigeria. ADVANCES IN EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY 2021; 1369:81-91.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a global public health challenge and there is a continuous increase in community-acquired infections among people in different geographical location. We sought the distribution and antibiotics pattern of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus isolates among apparently healthy residents of Ibadan, Southwestern Nigeria. METHODS Seven hundred (700) healthy volunteers residing in Ibadan metropolis, Nigeria, were enrolled in this study. Isolates from the nasal swabs were aseptically collected and characterized using standard and established microbiological methods, which included growth and fermentation on mannitol salt agar, colonial morphology, Gram-staining reaction, Microbact™ 12S identification kit and confirmed with 16SrRNA. After identification of the isolates, antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed on Mueller-Hinton agar by modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method and the presence of mecA and nuc genes were detected via polymerase chain reaction assay. RESULTS Prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus in this study was 31.9% and 9.43% respectively. The residents of Ibadan North local government area (Fisher's Exact = 1.8962, P = .028) and Egbeda local government area (Fisher's Exact = 2.7222, P = .006) are likely to carry Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus than any other local government area in Ibadan, Nigeria. The antimicrobial resistance patterns of the isolates revealed high resistance to Oxacillin (96.9%). Most of the isolates were sensitive to vancomycin (92.4%). Polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that mecA gene was present in all 66 (100%) Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates. Male-gender (ϰ2 = 8.849, P = .003), Adults; 40-50 years old (ϰ2 = 9.842, P = .002), low educational background (ϰ2 = 36.817, P ˂ .001), recent hospital visitation (ϰ2 = 8.693, P = .003) are some of the factors that are observed in this study to be associated with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus infection. CONCLUSION Our findings revealed the relatively high frequency of nasal carriers of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus among the apparently healthy residents of the studied area and the advent of multidrug resistance among these isolates. Our study also supports previous findings on male-gender and low educational background as risk factors of S. aureus carriage. The need for rational chemotherapy, routine detection and regular surveillance of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus to limit its spread and reduce treatment failures is important.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The temporal changes in the Staphylococcus aureus genotypes causing S. aureus bacteremia (SAB) and the corresponding clinical changes over the last decade in South Korea are rarely investigated. METHODS A longitudinal study of adult SAB patients was conducted in a large referral hospital in Seoul, South Korea. Adult monomicrobial SAB patients were enrolled between August 2008 and December 2018. Genotyping was performed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and staphylococcal protein A (spa) typing. Trends in changes were identified by linear regression analysis. RESULTS Of 1782 adult SAB patients, the blood isolates of 1,778 (99.8%) and 1,634 (91.7%) were determined to be MLST and spa type, respectively. ST5 (-2.626%/year) and ST239 (-0.354%/year) decreased during the study period (P < 0.001 for both), but ST72 (2.009%/yr)-and ST8 (0.567%/yr) increased (P < 0.001 for both). The most common genotype was changed from ST5 in 2008 (44.9%) to ST72 in 2018 (36.3%). Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive spa-t008-MRSA (USA300) was found in 28.6%. Central venous catheter (CVC)-related SAB (-2.440%/yr) and persistent SAB (-1.016%/yr) decreased, but mortality and recurrence rates were unchanged. CONCLUSION Over the last decade, the hospital clones ST5 and ST239 have been replaced by community genotype ST72. This was associated with decreased CVC-related and persistent SAB. Increased USA300 was observed in community and hospital settings. Further research is required to identify the reasons for the ST72 epidemic and predict the impending epidemic of ST8 strains, including USA300.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Staphylococcus aureus Sequence Type 72 Isolates Provides Insights Into Resistance Against Antimicrobial Agents and Virulence Potential. Front Microbiol 2021; 11:613800. [PMID: 33552024 PMCID: PMC7854921 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.613800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2020] [Accepted: 12/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus sequence type 72 (ST72) is a major community-associated (CA) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that has rapidly entered the hospital setting in Korea, causing mild superficial skin wounds to severe bloodstream infections. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the genomes of one methicillin-resistant human isolate and one methicillin-sensitive human isolate of ST72 from Korea, K07-204 and K07-561, respectively. We used a subtractive genomics approach to compare these two isolates to other 27 ST72 isolates to investigate antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence potential. Furthermore, we validated genotypic differences by phenotypic characteristics analysis. Comparative and subtractive genomics analysis revealed that K07-204 contains methicillin (mecA), ampicillin (blaZ), erythromycin (ermC), aminoglycoside (aadD), and tetracycline (tet38, tetracycline efflux pump) resistance genes while K07-561 has ampicillin (blaZ) and tetracycline (tet38) resistance genes. In addition to antibiotics, K07-204 was reported to show resistance to lysostaphin treatment. K07-204 also has additional virulence genes (adsA, aur, hysA, icaABCDR, lip, lukD, sdrC, and sdrE) compared to K07-561, which may explain the differential virulence potential of these human isolates of ST72. Unexpectedly, the virulence potential of K07-561 was higher in an in vivo wax-worm infection model than that of K07-204, putatively due to the presence of a 20-fold higher staphyloxanthin concentration than K07-204. Comprehensive genomic analysis of these two human isolates, with 27 ST72 isolates, and S. aureus USA300 (ST8) suggested that acquisition of both virulence and antibiotics resistance genes by ST72 isolates might have facilitated their adaptation from a community to a hospital setting where the selective pressure imposed by antibiotics selects for more resistant and virulent isolates. Taken together, the results of the current study provide insight into the genotypic and phenotypic features of various ST72 clones across the globe, delivering more options for developing therapeutics and rapid molecular diagnostic tools to detect resistant bacteria.

Abstract
This study was to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of
antimicrobial-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and
methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) from 4,264 retail meat
samples including beef, pork, and chicken in Korea between 2013 and 2018. A
broth microdilution antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed for
S. aureus. Molecular typing by multilocus sequence typing
(MLST), spa typing, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis
(PFGE), was performed on mecA-positive S.
aureus strain. S. aureus was isolated at a rate of
18.2% (777/4,264), of which MRSA comprised 0.7% (29 strains). MLST
analysis showed that 11 out of the 29 MRSA isolates were predominantly sequence
type (ST) 398 (37.9%). In addition, ST72, ST692, ST188, ST9, and ST630
were identified in the MRSA isolates. The spa typing results
were classified into 11 types and showed a high correlation with MLST. The
antimicrobial resistance assays revealed that MRSA showed 100% resistance
to cefoxitin and penicillin. In addition, resistance to tetracycline
(62.1%), clindamycin (55.2%), and erythromycin (55.2%) was
relatively high; 27 of the 29 MRSA isolates exhibited multidrug resistance. PFGE
analysis of the 18 strains excluding the 11 ST398 strains exhibited a maximum of
100% homology and a minimum of 64.0% homology. Among these, three
pairs of isolates showed 100% homology in PFGE; these results were
consistent with the MLST and spa typing results. Identification
of MRSA at the final consumption stage has potential risks, suggesting that
continuous monitoring of retail meat products is required.

Abstract
Antibacterial properties of 3',4'-difluoroquercetin (di-F-Q), a fluorine-substituted stable quercetin derivative, were investigated. Even though di-F-Q itself did not show interesting antibacterial activity, treatment of the Staphylococcus aureus strains with di-F-Q resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in biofilm formation with IC50 values of 1.8 ~ 5.3 mg/L. Also, the antibacterial activity of ceftazidime (CAZ) against carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) showed eightfold decrease upon combination with di-F-Q. Assessment of the antimicrobial activity of CAZ in combination with di-F-Q against 50 clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa confirmed 15.7% increase in the percentages of susceptible P. aeruginosa isolates upon addition of di-F-Q to CAZ. Further mechanistic studies revealed that di-F-Q affected the antibiotics efflux system in CRPA but not the β-lactamase activity. Thus, di-F-Q was almost equally effective as carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazine in inhibiting antibiotic efflux by P. aeruginosa. In vivo evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy of CAZ-(di-F-Q) combination against P. aeruginosa showed 20% of the mice treated with CAZ-(di-F-Q) survived after 7 days in IMP carbapenemase-producing multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa infection group while no mice treated with CAZ alone survived after 2 days. Taken together, di-F-Q demonstrated unique strain-specific antimicrobial properties including anti-biofilm and antibiotic-potentiating activity against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, respectively.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to describe the characteristics of infections with Staphylococcus aureus with reduced vancomycin susceptibility (SARVS) including vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) in South Korea, using data from the national sentinel surveillance system during 2014-2016. A total of 66 patients infected or colonized with SA-RVS were reported using the sentinel surveillance system. Among them, VISA was confirmed in 14 isolates (21.2%) and no vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA) was detected. Most of patients had any kind of indwelling devices (81.8%, 54/66) and underwent surgical procedures in the previous 6 months (84.8%, 56/66). Patients who admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) in the previous 3 months were 68.2% (45/66). Furthermore, patients who used vancomycin or had MRSA in the previous 1 month were 54.5% (36/66) and 59.1% (39/66), respectively. Upon review of the medical records, 54.5% (36/66) of patients were classified as having SA-RVSassociated infection and 30-day mortality was 19.4% (7/36). Our findings revealed that there was no VRSA in South Korea. SA-RVS including VISA existed particularly in patients who had indwelling devices, history of surgical procedure, and history of ICU admission.

Prostaglandin E2 attenuates synergistic bactericidal effects between COX inhibitors and antibiotics on Staphylococcus aureus. Prostaglandins Leukot Essent Fatty Acids 2018; 133:16-22. [PMID: 29789128 DOI: 10.1016/j.plefa.2018.04.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2018] [Revised: 03/30/2018] [Accepted: 04/25/2018] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
PGE2 is found to attenuate the bactericidal effects of kanamycin or ampicillin in Staphylococcus aureus, as well as the methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Co-treatment with cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors (celecoxib, aspirin or naproxen) synergistically enhances kanamycin or ampicillin-induced cell death of S. aureus and MRSA. COX inhibitors repressed bacterial multidrug resistance through down-regulating efflux pump activity in antibiotics-treated S. aureus and MRSA. However, this synergistic bactericidal effects are reduced by the treatment with PGE2. PGE2 restores the efflux pump activity as well as increases biofilm formation in S. aureus and MRSA. Collectively, the enhancement of efflux pump activity and biofilm formation with PGE2 might partially explain the resistance to synergistic bactericidal effects between COX inhibitors and antibiotics in PGE2-treated S. aureus.
