Vancomycin-intermediate S.aureus • 1988 VRE carrying vanA gene reported in France • 1992 In-vitro transfer of vanA determinant from E.faecalis to S.aureus • 1997 First strain of S.aureus with reduced susceptibility to vancomycin and Teicoplanin reported in Japan

Vancomycin-resistant S.aureus • From 1997-present VISA: Japan, U.S., France, U.K., Germany, Korea Hetero-VRSA: Spain, Scotland, Hong Kong, Germany, Netherland, Poland, Greece and Thailand • June 2002, First vanA containing VRSA isolated from a dialysis patient in Michigan, U.S. • August 2002, Second VRSA isolate from Pennsylvania, U.S.
Nomenclature • VISA Vancomycin-intermediate S.aureus • GISA Glycopeptide-intermediate S.aureus • VRSA Vancomycin-resistant S.aureus • hVRSA or hVISA Heteroresistant-VRSA • SA-RVS S.aureus with reduced vancomycin susceptibility

Hetero-VRSA • Definition: S.aureus strains that contain subpopulation of vancomycin-resistant daughter cells but for which the MICs of vancomycin for the parent strain are only 1-4 μg/ml. • Identified by growth on BHI screening agar containing vancomycin (4-6 μg/ml), when selected and tested , MICs 2-8 fold higher than original strain. • Population analysis is the standard method of identification (Prototype, Mu3)
Population Analysis Mu50: VRSA, Mu3: hetero-VRSA, H1:MRSA, FDA209P:MSSA
Mechanisms of Vancomycin Resistance • Excess production of peptidoglycan • Reduction of peptidoglycan turnover • Reduction of autolytic activity • Decrease in intracellular glutamine level • Decrease of cross-linkage of peptidoglycan • Abnormal production of murein monomer leading to increased proportion of D-alanyl-D-alanine residues in the peptidoglycan level Still Poorly Understood

Algorithm for Testing S. aureus with Vancomycin (VA) Acceptable Primary Test Methods Include: April 2004 MIC method1plus VA screen plate (BHIA with 6 µg/ml of VA) Disk diffusion2plus VA screen plate (BHIA with 6 µg/ml of VA) VA zone <14 mm AND GROWTH on VA screen plate VA zone >14 mm AND GROWTH on VA screen plate VA MIC <2 µg/ml And NO growth on VA screen plate VA MIC <2 µg/ml AND GROWTH on VA screen plate (rare) VA MIC >4 µg/ml AND GROWTH on VA screen plate VA zone >14 mm and NO growth on VA screen plate Possible VISA/VRSA Possible VISA/VRSA Report as VSSA3 Report as VSSA3 CHECK purity CONFIRM isolate ID RETEST using non-automated MIC method4 SAVE ISOLATE NOTIFY infection control, physician, local health department and CDC5 of “possible VISA/VRSA” SEND to reference laboratory for confirmation Important Footnotes 1Laboratories using automated susceptibility test methods should add a commercial vancomycin agar screen plate. 2Disk diffusion alone is not sufficient to detect VISA. 3If a laboratory is concerned about a result based on a patient’s history, MIC testing can be performed at CDC. 4 Non-automated methods: reference broth microdilution, agar dilution, agar gradient diffusion (Etest; use a 0.5 McFarland inoculum and Mueller-Hinton agar). 5Report to CDC by email: SEARCH@cdc.gov More VISA/VRSA info: www.cdc.gov/ncidod/hip/vanco/vanco.htm

Other Topics • S.aureus bacteremia appear to be of endogenous origin in the nasal mucosa. (Von Eiff C, et al. NEJM 2001;344:11-6) • Prophylactic intranasal application of mupirocin did not significantly reduce S.aureus surgical-site infection rate, but decrease nosocomial S.aureus infections. (Perl TM, et al. NEJM 2002;346: 1871-7) • Bivalent conjugate S.aureus type 5,8 vaccine confered partial immunity. (Shinfield H, et al. NEJM 2002;346:491-6)
Conclusion Nature is always at least ahead of science. • Continuing research on pathogenesis • Future vaccine? • Continuing new drugs development • Prevention is the key. • Need stringent infection control
