ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To investigate the national molecular epidemiology and resistance profiles of vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA), we analyzed the characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) collected from clinical samples at tertiary or general hospitals participating in a nationwide surveillance program for VISA and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) in Korea during an 12-week period in each year from 2007 to 2013.METHODS:
VISA was defined by agar dilution, broth dilution and E-test methods with vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations of >2 μg/mL. All VISA isolates were characterized by multilocus sequence typing, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec typing, spa typing, accessory gene regulator typing, Diversilab analysis, and antibiogram analysis.RESULTS:
Of 109,345 MRSA isolates, 87,354 were screened and 426 isolates were identified as positive on brain heart infusion agar containing 4 μg/mL vancomycin (BHI-V4). Of 426 isolates, 76 isolates were identified as VISA. No VRSA isolates were detected among the isolates. Overall, a total of 6 genotypes were identified among VISA strains and the predominant clones were ST5-II-t2460, ST72-IV-t324, and ST239-III-t037 (44.7%, 15.8%, and 10.5%, respectively). Of note, ST72-IV-t324 clones are known to be a typical community-associated MRSA. ST239-III-t037 strains were more resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole than any other type of strain. ST72-IV-t324 strains were susceptible to all of the antimicrobial agents tested except erythromycin and daptomycin. All of the VISA isolates were susceptible to linezolid and quinupristin-dalfopristin.CONCLUSION:
Although VRSA is still rare, continuous monitoring of VRSA occurrence is needed, as well as VISA prevalence, epidemic clonal shift, and antimicrobial resistance.
