What is Staphylococcus aureus?
Staphylococcus aureus, "staph," are bacteria commonly carried on the skin or in the nose of healthy people.
They are gram positive (purple colored) cocci in clusters on gram stain
2
Overview of Antibiotic Resistance
Unnecessary antibiotic use. excessive and unnecessary antibiotic use.
Antibiotics in food and water. Antibiotics in livestock find their way into municipal water systems when the runoff from feedlots contaminates streams and groundwater.
Germ mutation. Antibiotics don't destroy every germ they target. Germs learn to resist others and mutate much more quickly than new drugs can be produced.
Transfer Factors – survival of the fittest – quantum communication
3
Past 60 years – Resistance
50-70’s Staph aureus developed Penicillin resistance (blocking enzyme called penicillinase)
70’s Pencillinase resistant antibiotics (methicillin, oxacillin)
Early 1980’s – first cases of MRSA - Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in US
Early 1990’s Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE)
Early 2000’s CA-MRSA (USA300) Now - V.I.S.A. & V.R.S.A.Vancomycin intermediate and Vanco
resistant strains
4
What is MRSA? MRSA is the term used for a
subgroup of bacteria of the Staphylococcus aureus species that are resistant to the usual antibiotics used in the treatment of infections
Not just resistant to Methicillin - often have resistance to many antibiotics traditionally used against S.aureus.
5
How Does it Get Resistant?
Presence of the mec gene in the bacteria.
This alters the site at which methicillin binds to kill the organism.
Hence, methicillin and other antibiotics are not able to effectively bind to the bacteria.
6
Penicillin Binding Protein 2a MRSA carry a unique protein called
PBP 2a (penicillin-binding protein) on the cell membrane that plays a key role in helping to defend against antibiotics.
Sspecific components of the bacterial cell wall interact with PBP 2a to form a chemical barricade.
New antibiotics will deactivate the protein so they succumb to the antibiotic.
7
CA-MRSA and HA-MRSA
CA-MRSA Community-acquired Methicillin resistant Staph aureus Unique microbiologic and genetic
properties compared with HA-MRSA may allow the community strains to spread more easily or cause more skin disease
HA-MRSA Healthcare-acquired Methicillin resistant Staph aureus
Many hospitals now seeing CA-MRSA in healthcare associated infections
8
Differences in Strains
HA-MRSA Pulse field gel
electrophoresis (PFGE) USA 100, 200 & 500
Less mobile Panton valentine leucocidin
(PVL) gene rare More resistant to antibiotics
CA-MRSA Pulse field gel electrophoresis
(PFGE) USA 300, 400, 1000 &1100
More mobile PVL gene more common
Less resistant to abx Clindamycin resistance
developing in USA 300 strains
9
Community-acquired (CA)-MRSA
Susceptible to Clindamycin, Tetracyclines, and Bactrim
Genotypes of CA-MRSAmost common in US is clonal cluster ST-8
classified by the CDC as "USA 300." CA-MRSA has a novel methicillin-resistance
cassette element: type SCC mec IV, which has not been found in HA-MRSA isolates
CA-MRSA is more likely to encode for the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) toxinvirulence factor associated with severe necrotizing
pneumonia and skin and soft-tissue infections.
10
Severe CA-MRSA – Not PVL Most scientists believed the cause of severe
CA-MRSA infection was Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) toxin released by the organism
However, a study indicating that PVL does not play a major role in CA- MRSA infections was published in 2006
Question: what does????

Phenol Soluble Modulin Protein
Newly described proteins in CA-MRSAmembers of the phenol-soluble
modulin (PSM) protein family CA-MRSA strains attract and then destroy

Vancomycin Resistance
In 1996, the first clinical isolate - Japan In June 2002, Vancomycin Resistant Staph
aureus (VRSA) isolated from a intravenous catheter site Michigan resident aged 40 years with
diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and chronic renal failure
It contained the Van A resistance gene – from VRE
vanA in this VRSA - acquired through exchange of genetic material from the vancomycin-resistant enterococcus also isolated from the swab culture
MMWR July 5, 2002 / 51(26);565-567
13
New, lethal MRSA strain emerges……
A new strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is emerging
Researchers with Henry Ford Hospital say the USA600 strain is partially immune to vancomycin
Half of the USA600-infected patients in the study died within a month, a death rate five times that of those infected with known MRSA strains. (Ordinarily, 11 percent of patients infected with MRSA die within 30 days)
Factor may be age - those with the strain were, on average, 64 years old, as compared with 52 years old for other MRSA-infected people.

Populations at Risk for CA-MRSA
CA-MRSA do not have the usual risk factors associated with nosocomial MRSA.
Populations at greater risk include: children and day care centers persons in correctional facilities military personnel native populations gay men HIV-infected persons Sports: football, basketball, baseball,
wrestlers, fencing, soccer injection drug users homeless
16
Pets can carry MRSA
German woman - multiple deep abscesses Strain of drug-resistant MRSA Cured after the family's cat was tested and treated.
Husband and two children carriers of MRSA Treated and tested negative, she still was infected Three apparently healthy cats screened One tested positive for MRSA 4 weeks after the cat was treated with antibiotics,
the woman was also free of MRSA "We conclude that pets should be considered as
possible household reservoirs of MRSA that can cause infection or reinfection in humans”.

MRSA Skin/Soft Tissue
NEJM – August 17, 2006 Emergency departments in 11 university-
affiliated August 2004 Researchers enrolled adult patients with
acute, purulent skin and soft-tissue infections MRSA found to be the most common
causative agent S. aureus was isolated from 320 of 422
patients (76%) with skin and soft-tissue infections, with the prevalence of MRSA being 59% overall.
MRSA coverage when antimicrobial therapy is needed for the treatment of skin and soft-tissue infections
18
Risk Factors for Acquiring HA-MRSA
Break in natural skin barrier:Surgery – especially implantsBedsores
Invasive devices and proceduresIntravenous cathetersUrinary cathetersIntubation
Overuse of antibiotics Patients with co-morbidities
obesity, diabetes, steroids
19
Hospital EquipmentContaminated
shared equipment Contaminated hands
of healthcare workers – especially if presence of contact dermatitis and other skin conditions
Contaminated environment

21
Staph aureus Colonization Colonization: Staph bacteria are
present on or in the body without causing illness.
Approximately 25 to 30% of the population is colonized in the nose with sensitive Staph aureus at a given timeNEBH is finding 23% are colonized
22
MRSA Colonization ~2-10% general population
colonized with MRSANEBH is finding 5% are colonized
~0.9%-13.2% healthcare workers are colonized with MRSA
Higher rates in prison (~10%), among drug users, day care centers, professional sports teams and high schools
Once colonized for more than three months, it becomes much more difficult to clear
23
Rate of MRSA and MSSA in Surgeons and Residents
Schwarzkopf, et al: MRSA and MSSA in nares of physicians at the Hospital for Joint Diseases in New York. Ran Schwarzkopf, Richelle C. Takemoto, Igor Immerman, James D. Slover, and Joseph A. Bosco Prevalence of
Staphylococcus aureus Colonization in Orthopaedic Surgeons and Their Patients: A Prospective Cohort Controlled Study J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2010;92:1815-1819
74 surgeons and 61 residents screened
Surgeons: MRSA 2.7% and MSSA 23.3%
Residents: MRSA 0% and MSSA 59%
Control Group of Patients: MRSA 2.17% and MSSA 35.7%
Previous studies - 3% of MRSA outbreaks are caused by asymptomatic colonized health-care workers.

24
Higher Rate of Infection
if Colonized Colonized patients have a 30-60% risk of
infection following colonization. Host factors influence the onset of
infection.Immunosuppression, steroids, diabetes,
invasive devices and procedures, surgery, skin breakdown, pneumonia, obesity, hematoma, etc.

Antimicrobial Agents for Treating MRSA
Systemic/PO Topical Decolonization
Vancomycin Chlorhexidine body was
Clindamycin 2% Mupirocin ointment
Bactrim (Bactroban)
Rifampin po
Zyvox (Linezolid)IV or po
Daptomycin
26
New Antibiotics for MRSA ETX1153 (e-Therapeutics plc) found to be
highly potent against the most common epidemic strain of MRSA in the UK (EMRSA-16) and effective against V.I.S.A. strains
Platensimycin (Merck) blocks the enzymes that produce fatty acids - essential for the construction of the membranes of bacteria – still under investigation
Daptomycin (Cubist) can be used in combination regimens when infection with a gram-negative or anaerobic organism is either suspected or confirmed. This drug's action is rapidly bactericidal.
Linezolid (Zyvox) is active against gram-positive organisms, such as VRE and MRSA
27
28
MRSA Transmission
MRSA is transmitted by:
Direct Contact with body fluids, skin, secretions, excretions – during patient care and procedures, during sports, in close quarters
Indirect contact by contaminated inanimate objects – such as BP cuffs, oximeter sensors, thermometers, environment, contaminated hands, stethoscopes, otoscopes, commodes, bedside curtains, towels, locker rooms, prisons, toys in daycare

Sources for Transmission Hands number one! Close contact sports Cuts, abrasions and
bruises – wound care Bandages, soiled towels Locker rooms, Jacuzzi, hot
tub Benches, chairs, exercise
equipment Sharing items: towels,
razors, drinks, weights, bikes, etc.
32
Prevention: Wash and SanitizeAlcohol Foam, Liquid and Hand Wipes
At NEBH all patients admitted receive package of alcohol wipes
In each patient room, outside rooms, cafeteria and other areas
Wash hands often – before eating, before leaving work, after contamination, after bathroom

MRSA Patient Rooms Brigham and Women’s Hospital - environmental
contamination and the accompanying relative odds of infection acquisition.
Newly-admitted patients housed in a room in which the most recent occupant was MRSA-positive or VRE-positive, “significantly increased the odds of acquisition” for a MRSA-related or VRE-related infection.
MRSA room 3.9 percent of new patients acquired an infection.
VRE room 4.5 percent acquired a VRE infection.

36
MRSA contamination in precaution rooms
Ref: Boyce, Infec Cont Hosp Epid 197770% of rooms had environmental contamination when the patient was colonized or infected 42% of nurses’ gloves cultured were contaminated after touching environmental surfaces WITHOUT touching the patient!
Ref: Boyce, et. Al. SHEA 1998 AbstractResults: 14 (40%) of 35 HCWs gowns were culture + for MRSA on exiting room. Clothing underneath was negative. 11 (69%) of 16 HCWs wearing freshly laundered lab coats had detectable contamination. 3 of 11 developed positive hand cx after touching the coat.

In Conclusion MRSA is increasing in the community and in
hospitals Overuse of antibiotics has created some of the
problem Resistance among the species is a factor in
resistance Close quarters, equipment, environments and
contaminated hands are sources for transmission Limited antibiotics available to treat MRSA Pre-surgical screening program is an effective
method of detection for treatment and precautions
