Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. The charts of adult patients with SAB who were hospitalised in a Swiss tertiary-care centre between 1998 and 2002 were studied retrospectively. In total, 308 episodes of SAB were included: 2% were caused by methicillin-resistant strains; 49% were community-acquired; and 51% were nosocomial. Bacteraemia without focus was the most common type of community-acquired SAB (52%), whereas intravenous catheter-related infection predominated (61%) among nosocomial episodes of SAB. An infectious diseases (ID) specialist was consulted in 82% of all cases; 83% received appropriate antibiotic treatment within 24 h of obtaining blood cultures. Overall hospital-associated mortality was 20%. Community-acquired SAB was associated independently with a higher mortality rate than nosocomial SAB (26% vs. 13%; p 0.009). Independent risk-factors for a fatal outcome were age (p < 0.001), immunosuppression (p 0.007), alcoholism (p < 0.001), haemodialysis (p 0.03), acute renal failure (p < 0.001) and septic shock (p < 0.001). Consultation with an ID specialist was associated with a better outcome in univariate analysis (p < 0.001). Compared with a pr...Continue Reading

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
