Infection control – What works?
MRSA

mec determinant >30 kb
transposon

mec gene approx 2.5 kb on
transposon with regulatory genes
and insertion sequences for other
antibiotic resistance
MRSA

mecA encodes a unique PBP
(PBP2’ or PBP2a) with low
affinity for ß-lactams, and able to
fulfill functions of other PBPs

cross-resistance to all ß-lactams

heterogeneous resistance with
variable expression of resistance
(proportion of pop’n: 10-2-10-8)
MRSA

regulatory genes:
mecI - inhibits mecA
mecR1 – inducer of mecA

most MRSA have deletions or
point mutations in mecI and mecR1
promoter regions, resulting in
constitutive expression of mecA
mecI
mecR1
repressor penicilin-binding
proteins
signal transducer
(senses presence of
substrate to turn off
mecI, and thereby
activate mecA)
mecA
structural genes
mecAPBP2a
Staphylococcal Cassette
Chromosome (SCC)mec
SCCmec=
a mobile genetic element (22-100 kb)
located on chromosome; contains mecA
and insertion sites (for multidrug
resistance determinants)
SCCmec=
mec gene complex (mecI, mecR1, mecA)
+ ccr gene complex (ccrA, ccrB)
(responsible for mobility and insertion
of the gene complex)
+ other transposons, plasmids
SCCmec

S. aureus clones

Lab Detection



disk diffusion:
cefoxitin disk preferable to oxacillin
because greater expression of mecA
oxacillin agar screen
(MH agar with 4% NaCI,
6 µg/ml ox, 35ºC, 24 hrs)
broth microdilution
(MH broth with 2% NaCI,
35ºC, 24 hrs;ox MIC  4 µg/ml)
MRSA Identification
 detection
 detection
of mecA gene (PCR)
of PBP2a

CA-MRSA
Virulence
Enhanced virulence may be related to:
 global gene regulators (agr, sarA)
may upregulate expression of
virulence genes
 acquisition of additional virulence
genes
CA-MRSA
Virulence
Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL)
 -hemolysin (increased expression in

CA-MRSA; -hemolysin antibody protective
in mouse model) (Wardenburg, Nature Med 2007)

Argenine catabolic mobile element
(ACME; unique to CA-MRSA, S. epidermidis;
may help strain evade host response and
facilitate colonization)

MRSA
Impact
•
attributable mortality and morbidity
(Whitby, Med J Austr 2001; Cosgrove, Clin Infect Dis 2003)
•
prolonged hospital length of stay
(Engemann, Clin Infect Dis 2003; Cosgrove, Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2005)
•
excess/attributable
costs,
$14,360
(Kim, Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2001)
Why does antibiotic
resistance affect outcome?
•
•
•
Host factors
Organism virulence
Delay in instituting effective
therapy (or vancomycin less
effective)
Bradley, Clin Infect Dis 2002; Paterson, Clin Infect Dis 2004;
Kim, Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2008
Standard Treatment
of MRSA Infections
source control; remove infected
catheters, devices
 vancomycin
 other agents: clindamycin,
TMP-SMX, tetracyclines,
rifampin, fusidic acid

Vancomycin
•
less rapidly bactericidal
•
less effective in clinical trials
(Kim, Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2008)
•
more toxic
•
may induce resistance

a resistant sub-population; detected
by PAP-AUC
