Presentation Transcript

  1. Clinical Case 2 • 12-year-old boy was admitted to the hospital because of fever, chills, • sweats, productive cough, nausea, and vomiting. • recurrent pneumonias since the age of 5 years. • physical exam: • febrile, tachycardic, and tachypneic; • diffuse rhonchi in both lungs. • finger clubbing, splenomegaly • Blood cultures grew Staphylococcus aureus. • Dx: Chronic granulomatous disease

  2. Clinical Manifestations • Disease from S. aureus occurs in one of several ways • toxin formation • localized infection (pyogenic disease) • systemic infection (disseminated infection)

  3. Clinical Manifestations • Staph food poisoning • occurs through ingestion of a preformed enterotoxin (usually staph enterotoxin A or B) in contaminated food • meats, potato salad, custards, ice cream - partially cooked or come to room temperature and then refrigerated • usually the food appears normal • abrupt onset of salivation, N/V, abdominal pain, diarrhea occurring 2 - 6 hours after ingestion • usually occurs in community outbreaks • self-limited: resolves in a few hours

  4. Clinical Manifestations • Toxic shock syndrome • associated with toxigenic staph strains producing TSST-1 • TSST-1: related to the enterotoxins and is a superantigen • patients are colonized with the staph strain and under certain conditions (low oxygen tension, low magnesium concentration, etc), toxin production begins

  5. Clinical Manifestations • Toxic shock syndrome - 2 scenarios clinical picture looks the same • Non-menstrual • usually occurs 48 hours after a surgical procedure • patient looks septic but wound looks good • Menstrual • young women age 15-25 using tampons during menses

  6. Clinical Manifestations • TSS - clinical picture • abrupt onset of myalgias, fever, vomiting, diarrhea • confusion without focal neurologic deficits • severe hypotension, renal insufficiency, shock liver • rash with desquamation of palms and soles within a week - often conjunctival injection

  7. Clinical Manifestations • TSS - Treatment • remove source of the staph (removes toxin production) abscesses, fluid collections, tampons • supportive measures, immunoglobulins, antibiotics • 3% mortality currently - long term neurologic sequelae not uncommon

  8. Clinical Manifestations • Pyogenic disease • Numerous types - clinical name used depends on location and size of the S. aureus infection • Examples: • folliculitis • furuncles/carbuncles - • deep seated inflammatory mass that evolves from folliculitis (zits) - a carbuncle is a coalescence of furuncles • hidradenitis suppurativa • chronic infections of axilla, pubic area associated with apocrine sweat glands

  9. Carbuncle Furuncle

  10. hidradenitis

  11. Clinical Manifestations • Pyogenic Diseases con’t • impetigo • Superficial infection of the skin • begins as a vesicular lesion, then changes to a crusty erosion • cellulitis • Infection of the dermal, subcutaneous tissues associated with dolor, rubor, calor, tumor • lymphangitis • Dissemination of infection through lymphatics - can be a complication of pyogenic infection

  12. impetigo

  13. cellulitis

  14. lymphangitis

  15. Clinical Manifestations • SSSS (Staph Scalded Skin Syndrome) • Ritter von Ritterschein disease (in newborns) • Toxins act on the dermis • Generalized • Staph secretes a toxin systemically (usually can’t recover staph from the involved site) • Nikolsky’s sign: detachment of the skin by rubbing • Localized • Bullous impetigo • Blistering around an infected area • Treatment is antistaph agents/local wound care

  16. Scalded Skin Syndrome

  17. SSSS vs TEN • TEN (Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis) • Cleavage within the dermis or dermoepidermal junction • epidermal involvement • High fatality rate • Can be difficult to distinguish from SSSS • May need biopsy • Treatment with steroids (?)

  18. Clinical Manifestations • Disseminated infection • “Staph goes where the blood goes” • bacteremia/septicemia usually starts as a local infection and overcomes host defenses • manifestations include endocarditis, vasculitis, pericarditis, pneumonia, osteomyelitis, brain abscess

  19. Treatment • Remove foreign bodies if possible • Drain pus if possible • Duration of therapy depends on the type of infection • bone, foreign body, heart require at least 4 weeks of antibiotics

  20. Treatment • Antibiotic Therapy • guided by local susceptibility data • MSSA- methicillin sensitive S. aureus • good drug choices are B-lactams • Hospital Acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) • Most frequently due to altered penicillin binding proteins (PBP2a)- mecA gene • resistant to more drugs than CA-MRSA • vancomycin best choice

  21. Treatment • Community acquired-MRSA (CA-MRSA) • doxycycline, trim-sulfa, linezolid, vancomycin good initial choices if CA-MRSA suspected • rifampin resistance occurs rapidly and combination therapy is useful • VISA/VRSA • MRSA that is Vancomycin Resistant • vancomycin intermediate-susceptible MRSA • vancomycin resistant MRSA • consider linezolid or Synercid or daptomycin

  22. Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing Mueller-Hinton Agar Disk Diffusion Vitek 2.0 CA-MRSA

  23. Coagulase Negative Staphylococci • Coagulase Negative staph • 15 species are indigenous to man • 4 are clinically important • S. epidermidis (S. epidermidis) • S. hemolyticus • S. saphrophyticus • S. lugdunensis (infrequent, but severe) • Others: S. capitis, S. caprae, S. warneri, S. auricularis, S. intermedius, S. simulans, S. cohnii, S. chormogenes

  24. S. epidermidis • normal resident bacteria on skin, mucous membranes (S.epi - 65% - 90%) • type, location, and amount of S.epi on skin can be altered by many factors • eg. - antibiotic use, S. aureus colonization • Contains numerous plasmids coding for antibiotic resistance and can easily transfer them within or between species, genus

  25. S. epidermidis • usually highly antibiotic resistant • >80% methicillin resistant • >50% are resistant to: erythromycin, clindamycin, Chloramphenicol, and tetracyclines • Sensitive to: vancomycin, rifampin, and ciprofloxacin • Nearly all infections are nosocomial (hospital acquired)

  26. S. epidermidis S. epidermidis • Coagulase negative • Catalase positive • Growth on blood agar: • Non-hemolytic (gamma hemolysis) • Whitish creamy color • Grows readily (16 hours) S. aureus

  27. S. epidermidis • no known pathogenic exoproteins or toxins • mainly causes infection on “hardware” and is introduced onto foreign body during procedure from hospital environment, hands of personnel • eg - IVs, dacron grafts, CSF shunts, pacemaker wires, artificial valves and joints, implants (breast, eye)

  28. S. epidermidis • Exopolysaccharide layer produced by the organism (biofilm) is the major reason it causes infection on hardware • Biofilm protects S. epidermidis from host defenses such as opsonization and decreases penetration of antibiotics • some surface antigens produced by S. epidermidis may promote its adherence

  30. before inoculation 30 minutes 24 hours 12 hours silicone ventricular catheter (Cordis®)

  31. Clinical Manifestations • DO NOT take blood cultures from Lines! • Intravenous Catheter Infections • S. epidermidis- most common associated organism • Can lead to bacteremia and can also be associated with significant morbidity/mortality (“line sepsis”) • Infection can occur at the insertion site or the tip • Remove catheter + Vancomycin

  32. Clinical Manifestations • Bacteremia • S. epidermidis often recovered from blood cultures • most common blood contaminate and rarely causes native valve endocarditis • most common cause of “line sepsis” • major cause of sternal osteomyelitis after cardiothoracic surgery • common cause of prosthetic joint infection

  33. Clinical Manifestations • Infective Endocarditis (IE) • Native valve IE • 5% of all cases are due to S. epidermidis • occurs with seeding of damaged valves, endocardium when S. epidermidis crosses skin barrier • Prosthetic valve IE • 40% of all cases are due to S. epidermidis • if it develops in the first months after valve replacement, seeding probably occurred during surgery

  34. Clinical Manifestations • IE (continued) • Diagnosis • Multiple sets of positive blood cultures • echocardiography • high level of clinical suspicion • Treatment • Vancomycin + gent + rifampin • Removal & replacement of valve

  35. Clinical Manifestations • S. epidermidis endophthalmitis: • Mostcommon cause after cataract surgery/lens implantation • Also occurs in intravenous drug abusers (IVDA) • Dx - clinical exam • Tx - vitrectomy or enucleation with IV vancomycin +intravitreal antibiotics

  36. Clinical Manifestations • Urinary Tract Infections • S. epidermidis usually causes UTIs in elderly, hospitalized patients with catheters in place • Very different than clinical setting of UTIs with S. saprophyticus

  37. S. hemolyticus • (2nd most common cause of CoNS infections) • normal resident bacteria on skin, mucous membranes • Infections: similar to S. epidermidis- • Line infections, endocarditis, septicemia • Others: UTI, Wound, bone, and joint • Lab: similar to S. epidermidis: catalase positive coagulase negative, non-hemolytic on blood agar

  38. S. saprophyticus • Catalase positive • Coagulase negative • Non-hemolytic on blood agar • Novobiocin resistant • True urinary pathogen (rarely a contaminant) • UTI clinical presentation similar to that of infection with GNRs such as E. coli: frequency, urgency, dysuria: pyuria on UA

  39. S. saprophyticus • Infection occurs in healthy young women in an outpatient setting • 70% report sex within 24 hours preceding symptoms • 2nd most common pathogen (after E. coli) in young women • can cause symptoms, pyuria, with <105cfu/ml • may be cause of acute urethral syndrome • Tx - quinolones, Bactrim • may recur in 10% of patients

  40. S. lugdunensis • Infrequent, but important cause of infections • Very aggressive endocarditis with frequent valve replacement, congestive heart failure, and high mortality rate • Bacteremia, arthritis, UTI, central line infections, wound infections • Key lab features: • Beta hemolytic on blood agar • Coagulase negative • pyrrolidonyl-α-naphthylamide hydrolysis (PYR) positive • Detects L-pyrrolidonyl arylamidase • Paper disk impregnated with reagent • (most staph are negative): good rapid screening test • Rapid ornithine decarboxylase positive (all other staphylococci are negative) PYR negative PYR positive
