Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of bacteremia in children and is associated with high morbidity. Complete data are lacking on the incidence, related risk factors and mortality associated with this infection. Descriptive study including patients younger than 16 years admitted to a tertiary reference hospital, with blood cultures exclusively positive for S. aureus. Four study periods were established: period 1, 1995-1999; period 2, 2000-2002; period 3, 2006-2008 and period 4, 2010-2012. In total, 269 episodes of S. aureus bacteremia (SAB) occurred in 242 patients. Over the total time studied, the incidence increased from 1.3 to 3.3 cases per 1000 patients hospitalized (relative risk: 2.71; 95% confidence interval: 1.85-3.95) and mortality decreased from 18% to 6% (P = 0.008). There were no differences in the resistance patterns of S. aureus strains. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) increased from 3% to 13% between periods 1 and 2 and decreased from 14% to 3% between periods 3 and 4 (P = 0.011). The 30-day cumulative mortality was 3.3%, and the SAB-related mortality was 1.5%. Nosocomial acquisition and age 12-16 years were factors independently related with death on multivariate analysis. The inciden...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.
