2 MRSA Prevalence in UK : ~11% In Top Ten of pathogens causing blood stream infections Associated with significant mortality & morbidity Colonisation / screening
3 MRSA
4 MRSA Have an additional PBP2a / PBP2 meci mecr1 meca 2011 mecc in bovine mastitis Animals & humans all over Europe Phenotypic testing OK Chromogenic agar OK some variability NEG with PBP latex kits Low expression of PBP2a NEG with PCR primers Automated systems: OXA S, FOX R BSAC disc misses 29% of mecc 2-3% of MRSA
5 Mupirocin resistance in S. aureus Low level resistance Mechanism of action: Binds to isoleucine (iles) trna synthetase MIC 8-256mg/L Mutation in iles gene High level resistance MIC 512mg/L Acquisition of mupa gene; novel isoleucine trna synthetase. Protein synthesis termination

7 Mupirocin resistance in S. aureus Detection of differentiation between low & high level resistance EUCAST Disc 200ug or MIC Breakpoints relate to nasal decolonisation Low level resistance (Intermediate) Short term suppression Long term eradication rate are low R< = 18 S = 30

9 Macrolide resistance in Staphylococci /Streptococci - Detection ERYTH S CLINDA S Interpretation Type 1: Organism susceptible to both erythromycin and clindamycin Disc screen D-test R R Type 2: Organism resistant to erythromycin and clindamycin (constitutive MLSB) Placed 12-20mm apart Ery 15 ug Clin 2 ug R S Type 3: May have inducible resistance (inducible MLSB) or other mechanism Streps: Placed 12-16mm apart
10 Macrolide resistance in Staphylococci /Streptococci - Reporting Reporting if D-test positive: Staphylococci & Streptococci report as clindamycin R Add comment Clindamycin may still be used for short-term therapy of less serious skin & soft tissue infections as constitutive resistance is unlikely to develop during therapy. Pre 2015 EUCAST (v4) & 2014 BSAC (v13): Staphylococci report as R Streptococci report as S

21 EUCAST Breakpoints Method dependant; perform microbroth dilution Borderline result of 2mg/L may have impaired clinical response Glycopeptides 1 MIC breakpoint (mg/l) Disk conten t (µg) Zone diameter breakpoint (mm) Notes Numbers for comments on MIC breakpoints Letters for comments on disk diffusion S R > S R < Teicoplanin, S. aureus Teicoplanin, Coagulase-negative staphylococci Note A Note A 1. Glycopeptide MICs are method dependent and should be determined by Note A Note A broth microdilution (reference ISO 20776). S. aureus with vancomycin MIC values of 2 mg/l are on the border of the wild type MIC distribution and Telavancin, MRSA , , Note A Note A there may be an impaired clinical response. The resistant breakpoint has 3 3 been reduced to 2 mg/l to avoid reporting "GISA" isolates intermediate as Vancomycin, S. aureus Vancomycin, Coagulase-negative staphylococci Note A Note A serious infections with "GISA" isolates are not treatable with increased Note A Note A doses of vancomycin or teicoplanin. 2. For telavancin MIC determination, the medium must be supplemented with polysorbate-80 to a final concentration of 0.002%. 3. MRSA isolates susceptible to vancomycin can be reported susceptible to telavancin. A. Disk diffusion is unreliable and cannot distinguish between wild type isolates and those with non-vana-mediated glycopepetide resistance.
