Abstract
Phenol-soluble modulins (PSM) are amphipathic proteins produced by Staphylococcus aureus that promote virulence, inflammatory response, and biofilm formation. We previously showed that MRSA isolates from soft tissue infection (SSTI) produced significantly higher levels of PSM than MRSA isolates from hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) or infective endocarditis (IE). In this investigation, we sought to validate this finding in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) isolates. MSSA isolates (n = 162) from patients with SSTI, HAP, and IE were matched 1:1:1 based on geographic origin of the infection to form 54 triplets (North America n = 27, Europe n = 25, Australia n = 2). All isolates underwent spa typing and were classified using eGenomics. In vitro PSM production was quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Fischer's Exact Test and the Kruskal-Wallis test were used for statistical analysis. Spa1 was more common in SSTI (14.81% SSTI, 3.70% HAP, 1.85% IE) (p < 0.03). Spa2 was more common in HAP (0% SSTI, 12.96% HAP, 3.70% IE) (p < 0.01). Levels of PSMα1-4 all differed significantly among the three clinical groups, with SSTI isolates producing the highest levels and IE producing the lowest levels of ...Continue Reading
