promed@usa.healthnet.org Subject: PROMED: Infection Control: MRSA (3) Date: Thu, 6 Jun 1996 17:43:27 -0400 The issue about trying to contain MRSA is also very much about: 1. Cost to the hospital in vancomycin use (to treat MRSA infections and for empiric treatment in units where MRSA is endemic) 2. Microbial cost - potential for VRSA, emergence or selection of VRE and other vancomycin-resistant organisms.

Preventing Spread of MRSA Outbreak Among Hospitalized Patients • Timely ID of epidemic strain • Culture surveillance of patients and staff • Barrier precautions • Staff carriers to non-clinical duties • HANDWASHING !!!!!!!!! • Discharge of patients infected with epidemic strain • Flagging infected patients records

Elimination of nasal carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with mupirocin during a hospital outbreak. During a hospital outbreak of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), involving more than 200 patients, 40 patients and 32 hospital staff who were stable nasal carriers of MRSA received topical application of 2% mupirocin, formulated in a white soft paraffin and lanolin ointment, to their anterior nares for five days. ... … The elimination of nasal MRSA by mupirocin, and the introduction of isolation facilities, were associated with the control of the outbreak.

promed@usa.healthnet.org Subject: PROMED: Infection Control: MRSA (3) Date: Thu, 6 Jun 1996 17:43:27 -0400 My personal impression is that there is probably a critical limit of MRSA prevalence beyond which control measures are largely futile (I hope to be proved wrong, perhaps by a case-control study of wards with and without control measures), and that control measures are most beneficial in hospitals which have a near-zero rate of MRSA.

Characteristics of CA-MRSA • Community-acquired MRSA differs from HA-MRSA in that CA-MRSAis not multidrug-resistant and can usually be treated with clindamycin,trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, minocycline, or linezolid. • Both organismscarry the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mecA (SCCmecA)gene that encodes resistance to the ß-lactams
We assessed whether any common genetic markers existed among 117 CA-MRSA isolates from the United States, France, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, and Western Samoa by performing polymerase chain reaction for 24 virulence factors and the methicillin resistance determinant. Limited number of clones found Although the selective advantage conferred by the combination of genetic traits (i.e., PVL locus and SSCmec IV in an agr3 background) is not clear, the spread of a limited number of clones in each continent suggests that these CA-MRSA strains are particularly suited to be successful community-based pathogens.
Involvement of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Producing Staphylococcus aureus in Primary Skin Infections and Pneumonia. • Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a cytotoxin that causes leukocyte destruction and tissue necrosis. It is produced by fewer than 5% of Staphylococcus aureus strains. • A collection of 172 S. aureus strains were screened for PVL genes by polymerase chain reaction amplification. • PVL genes were detected in 93% of strains associated with furunculosis and in 85% of those associated with severe necrotic hemorrhagic pneumonia (all community-acquired). They were detected in 55% of cellulitis strains, 50% of cutaneous abscess strains, 23% of osteomyelitis strains, and 13% of finger-pulp infection strains. • PVL genes were not detected in strains responsible for other infections, such as infective endocarditis, mediastinitis, hospital-acquired pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and enterocolitis, or in those associated with toxic-shock syndrome. It thus appears that PVL is mainly associated with necrotic lesions involving the skin or mucosa. Gerard Lina, et al. Clinical Infectious Diseases 1999;29:1128-1132..

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: a consensus review of the microbiology, pathogenesis, and epidemiology with implications for prevention and management. ...MRSA colonization precedes infection. A major reservoir is the anterior nares. MRSA is usually introduced into an institution by a colonized or infected patient or health care worker. The principal mode of transmission is via the transiently colonized hands of hospital personnel... Mulligan ME; Murray-Leisure KA; Ribner BS; Standiford HC; John JF; Korvick JA; Kauffman CA; Yu VL.
