ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Objetivos: Tipificar el casette SCCmec en cepas de Staphylococcus aureus resistentes a meticilino (SARM) en aislados clínicos de centros de salud del Estado Aragua-Venezuela y comparar la presencia de los genotipos SCCmec entre los centros de salud del estado y según el tipo de infección. Materiales y métodos: Durante enero y agosto de 2015 se estudiaron 81 cepas SARM de cuatro centros de salud del estado de Aragua en Venezuela. La resistencia al meticilino se midió con el método de Kirby-Bauer con discos de oxacilina (1 µgr) y cefoxitina (30 µgr). El gen mecA y el SCCmec se analizaron por la técnica de reacción en cadena de polimerasa múltiple. Resultados: 55 aislados (67,9%) amplificaron el gen mecA, y 24 cepas (43,6%) amplificaron el SCCmec. El SCCmec I fue el más frecuente, seguido de SCCmecIV y SCCmec III, representaron el 62,5%, 25% y 12,5%, respectivamente. El SCCmec I fue predominante en el centro de salud A (80%), mientras que el SCCmec IV se encontró en el centro de salud B (60%) y C (100%). En el centro de salud D, 50% resultó ser SCCmec I y 50% SCCmec IVd. Se encontró relación entre el SCCmec y el centro de salud con significancia estadística. En infecciones de piel y tejidos blandos y en las respiratorias predominó el SCCmec I con 63,2% y 50% respectivamente. Conclusiones: La frecuencia de SCCmec I y IV permitirá establecer nuevas medidas en el uso y control de la resistencia a los antibióticos.


ABSTRACT Objective: Typify the SCCmec cassette in methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus in clinical isolates from health centers in the State of Aragua-Venezuela and compare the presence of SCCmec genotypes among the state health centers and according to the type of infection. Materials and methods: 81 MRSA strains from four health centers of the Aragua-Venezuela State were studied. Methicillin resistance was performed with the Kirby-Bauer method with oxacillin (1 µg) and cefoxitin (30 µg) disks. The mecA gene and SCCmec were analyzed by the multiple PCR technique. Results: Only 55 isolates (67.9%) amplified the mecA gene, and 24 strains (43.6%) amplified SCCmec. SCCmec type I was the most frequency, followed by SCCmec IV and SCCmec III, representing 62.5%, 25% and 12.5%, respectively. SCCmec I was predominant in health center A (80%), while in B and C 60% and 100% respectively were SCCmec IV. At health center D, 50% turned out to be SCCmec I and 50% SCCmec IVd. A relationship was found between the SCCmec and the health center with statistical significance. SCCmec I predominated in skin and soft tissue and respiratory infections with 63.2% and 50%, respectively. There was no association between genotype and type of infection with a p value greater than 0.05. Conclusions: The prevalence of SCCmec I and IV will allow establishing new measures in the use of antibiotics and epidemiological control.

ABSTRACT

Fundamento: Las bacterias multirresistentes a los medicamentos son un problema creciente en los hospitales de todo el mundo. El Staphylococcus aureus resistente a meticilina es el germen responsable de una parte considerable de infecciones, tanto dentro como fuera de los hospitales. Objetivo: describir la resistencia antimicrobiana del Staphylococcus aureus resistente a meticilina. Métodos: estudio descriptivo, con muestras clínicas de pacientes atendidos en el Hospital Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima, de Cienfuegos, en el año 2014. Para las 142 muestras clínicas analizadas, se estudió el servicio de procedencia, tipo de muestra y resistencia bacteriana. Las muestras fueron analizadas en el Laboratorio de Microbiología del Hospital. Para la detección de resistencia se emplearon discos de cefoxitín, por el método de difusión Kirby Bauer. Resultados: el Staphylococcus aureus resistente a meticilina se aisló con mayor frecuencia en pacientes ingresados en el hospital (55,0 %), causando fundamentalmente infecciones de piel y mucosas (50,6 %). Mostró mayor resistencia a eritromicina y azitromicina, tanto en pacientes hospitalizados como atendidos en consulta externa. Se obtuvieron 15 patrones de corresistencia, de los cuales el patrón azitromicina, eritromicina, ciprofloxacino, fue el más freuente (70 aislamientos). Conclusión: los elevados patrones de corresistencia antimicrobiana reafirmaron el carácter multirresistente de Staphylococcus aureus resistente a meticilina, el cual mostró resistencia a más de dos clases de antibióticos en las muestras analizadas.


Foundation: Multidrug-resistant bacteria are a growing problem in hospitals around the world. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is the germ responsible for a considerable part of infections both inside and outside hospitals. Objective: To describe the antimicrobial resistance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: A descriptive study with clinical samples of patients attended at Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima Hospital, Cienfuegos, in the year 2014. For the 142 clinical samples analyzed, the service of origin, type of sample and bacterial resistance were studied. Samples were analyzed in the Laboratory of Microbiology of the Hospital. Cefoxitin discs were used for the detection of resistance by the Kirby Bauer diffusion method.Results: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was most frequently isolated in hospitalized patients (55.0%), mainly causing skin and mucosal infections (50.6%). He showed greater resistance to erythromycin and azithromycin, both in hospitalized and outpatient patients. 15 patterns of resistance were obtained, of which the pattern azithromycin, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, was the most frequent (70 isolates).Conclusion: The high antimicrobial co-resistance patterns confirmed the multidrug resistance character of methicillin of Staphylococcus aureus, which showed resistance to more than two types of antibiotics in the analyzed samples.

ABSTRACT

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) stand out as one of the main agents causing nosocomial and community infections. This retrospective study aimed to analyze the MRSA predominance in a university hospital in the south of Brazil and it was carried out for five years (from 2007 to 2011). 616 MRSA (33,3% of the total) were isolated and an important reduction in the MRSA predominance was observed along the study. Although it was registered a reduction in the MRSA predominance, male adult patients (41-70 years old), who were in the Medical Clinic and Adult ICU, had the highest infection rates and concerning MRSA isolates rates, these were higher in blood and tracheal aspirates. In conclusion, studies of this type are becoming relevant to recognize pathogens like MRSA and to determine its predominance.


Staphylococcus aureus resistentes à meticilina (MRSA) destacam-se mundialmente como um dos mais frequentes patógenos nosocomiais e comunitários. Este estudo retrospectivo teve por objetivo analisar a prevalência de MRSA em um hospital universitário no sul do Brasil. Durante cinco anos (2007 a 2011), 616 MRSA (33,3% do total de S. aureus) foram isolados, sendo que sua frequência de isolamento apresentou considerável redução no decorrer do estudo. Nossos resultados demonstraram que as maiores taxas de isolamento dos MRSA ocorreram em amostras de sangue e secreção traqueal. As infecções prevaleceram em pacientes adultos (41 a 70 anos), do sexo masculino, internados na Clínica Médica e UTI adulto. Estudos como este se tornam importantes para o reconhecimento de patógenos resistentes, como o MRSA, e para a determinação da sua prevalência.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo avaliou a atividade antibacteriana de extratos de plantas contra as cepas de Staphylococcus aureus por meio de testes de Disco-Difusão e de Concentração Bactericida Mínima (CBM). Foi testada a susceptibilidade de 52 cepas de S. aureus aos extratos hidroetanólicos das plantas: (1) Psidium guajavavar. pomifera; (2) Hymenaea courbaril var. stilbocarpa; (3) Pothomorphe umbellata; (5) Bidens pilosa, seguindo-se a metodologia baseada nas normas internacionais do CLSI. Na comparação dos resultados da ação dos extratos nas concentrações preparadas neste modelo experimental, foi observado que: B. pilosa apresentou menor ação; P. guajava var. pomifera, P. umbellata, com resultados muito próximos entre si, apresentaram ações medianas; H. courbaril var. stilbocarpa demonstrou ação muito superior aos outros extratos e ao controle com etanol. A ação in vitro dos extratos testados evidenciou a presença de princípios ativos antibacterianos. O estudo tornou evidente que os extratos hidroetanólicos das plantas 1, 2, 3 e 5 possuem ação antibacteriana in vitro contra Staphylococcus aureus MRSA e MSSA.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El surgimiento de resistencia a oxazolidinonas en Staphylococcus aureus resistentes a meticilina (SAMR) y Enterococcus spp con elevada resistencia a aminoglucósidos (EERA), aún cuando no han sido expuestos al antibiótico, es una de las principales razones para el control en el uso clínico de estos antibióticos. Métodos: Se estudiaron 95 cepas de SAMR y EERA, las cuales fueron aisladas de enero 2003 a diciembre 2007 en el Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez; se identificaron por pruebas convencionales. Se evaluó la susceptibilidad a diversos antimicrobianos incluyendo linezolid de acuerdo al Instituto de Estándares Clínicos y de Laboratorio (CLSI). Se comprobó la elevada resistencia a aminoglucósidos al amplificar los genes aac(6')-le, aph(2")-la y ant(6') en enterococos y el tipo de cásete cromosomal estafilocócico mee (SCCmec) asociado a la resistencia a meticilina en S. aureus, por técnicas moleculares previamente descritas. Resultados: Todas las cepas de SAMR mostraron el SCCmec tipo II. El 100% de los enterococos con fenotipo EERA mostraron genes asociados con los niveles elevados de resistencia a aminoglucósidos. El 12% (6/50) de EERA presentó valores intermedios a linezolid (concentración inhibitoria mínima (CIM) de 4 μg/mL) y sólo una cepa fue resistente (CIM 128 μg/mL); un aislamiento fue resistente a vancomicina fenotipo y genotipo van A, pero sensible a linezolid. El 2.2% (1/45) de los SAMR fue resistente a linezolid (CIM 8 μg/mL). Conclusión: Linezolid es una opción terapéutica de gran valor clínico. Sin embargo, son necesarios monitoreos continuos para conocer el riesgo de surgimiento de cepas resistentes y establecer lineamientos en el uso apropiado del antibiótico.


Background: The emergence of resistance to the oxazolidinones by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and high-level aminoglycoside-resistant (HLRA) Enterococcus spp not exposed is one of the main reasons for control of the clinical use of these antibiotics. Methods: We studied 95 strains of MRSA and HLAR, which were isolated from January 2003 to December 2007 at the Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez. The strains were identified by conventional tests. Antimicrobial susceptibility was evaluated for several antimicrobial agents including linezolid according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). The high resistance to aminoglycosides was tested by amplification of genes aac (6')-/e, aph (2")-and ant (6') in enterococci. Staphylococcal cassette chromosomal mec (SCCmec) associated with MRSA was identified by molecular techniques described previously. Results: All MRSA strains showed SCCmec type II, and 100% of enterococci strains with phenotype HLAR showed genes associated with high-level aminoglycoside resistance; 12% of HLAR enterococci strains showed intermediate values to linezolid (MIC 4 μg/mL) and only one strain was resistant (MIC 128 μg/mL). Of the MRSA strains, 2.2% were resistant to linezolid (MIC 8 μg/mL). Conclusion: Linezolid is a clinically valuable option as a form of therapy. However, continuous surveillance is necessary to determine the emergent risk of resistance strains and to establish guidelines for appropriate use.
