Abstract
Importance Staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of death due to bacterial bloodstream infection. Female sex has been identified as a risk factor for mortality in S aureus bacteremia (SAB) in some studies, but not in others. Objective To determine whether female sex is associated with increased mortality risk in SAB. Data Sources MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science were searched from inception to April 26, 2023. Study Selection Included studies met the following criteria: (1) randomized or observational studies evaluating adults with SAB, (2) included 200 or more patients, (3) reported mortality at or before 90 days following SAB, and (4) reported mortality stratified by sex. Studies on specific subpopulations (eg, dialysis, intensive care units, cancer patients) and studies that included patients with bacteremia by various microorganisms that did not report SAB-specific data were excluded. Data Extraction and Synthesis Data extraction and quality assessment were performed by 1 reviewer and verified by a second reviewer. Risk of bias and quality were assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. Mortality data were combined as odds ratios (ORs). Main Outcome and Measures Mortality at or before 90-day following SAB, stratified by sex. Results From 5339 studies retrieved, 89 were included (132 582 patients; 50 258 female [37.9%], 82 324 male [62.1%]). Unadjusted mortality data were available from 81 studies (109 828 patients) and showed increased mortality in female patients compared with male patients (pooled OR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.06-1.18). Adjusted mortality data accounting for additional patient characteristics and treatment variables were available from 32 studies (95 469 patients) and revealed a similarly increased mortality risk in female relative to male patients (pooled adjusted OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.11-1.27). No evidence of publication bias was encountered. Conclusions and Relevance In this systematic review and meta-analysis, female patients with SAB had higher mortality risk than males in both unadjusted and adjusted analyses. Further research is needed to study the potential underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infection (BSI) is a major issue in healthcare, since it is often associated with endocarditis or deep site foci. Relevant morbidity and mortality associated with MRSA-BSIs forced the development of new antibiotic strategies; in particular, this review will focus the attention on fifth-generation cephalosporins (ceftaroline/ceftobiprole), that are the only ß-lactams active against MRSA. AREAS COVERED The review discusses the available randomized controlled trials and real-world observational studies conducted on safety and effectiveness of ceftaroline/ceftobiprole for the treatment of MRSA-BSIs. Finally, a proposal of MRSA-BSI treatment flowchart, based on fifth-generation cephalosporins, is described. EXPERT OPINION The use of anti-MRSA cephalosporins is an acceptable choice either in monotherapy or combination therapy for the treatment of MRSA-BSIs due to their relevant effectiveness and safety. Particularly, their use may be advisable in combination therapy in case of severe infections (including endocarditis or persistent bacteriemia) or in monotherapy in subjects at higher risk of drugs-induced toxicity with older regimens. On the contrary, caution should be taken in case of suspected/ascertained central nervous system infections due to inconsistent data regarding penetration of these drugs in cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventilator acquired pneumonia (VAP) is a frequent and serious complication in ICU. Second episodes of VAP are common in trauma patients and may be related to severity of underlying conditions, treatment or bacterial factors of the first VAP. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors of second VAP episodes in trauma injured patients (defined as the development of a new pulmonary infection during or remotely following the first episode). DESIGN This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study of trauma injured patients who underwent a first episode of VAP between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2020 at Beaujon Hospital. RESULTS A total of 533 patients with a first episode of VAP were analyzed, mostly with head and/or thoracic traumatic injury. A second episode of VAP occurred in one hundred sixty-seven patients (31.3%). The main risk factors found was the degree of hypoxemia at the time of the first episode [PaO2/FiO2 ratio 100-200, OR 3.12 (1.77-5.69); < 100, OR 5.80 (2.70-12.8)] and severe traumatic brain injury characterized by an initial GCS ≤ 8 [OR 1.65 (1.01-2.74)]. CONCLUSION Depth of hypoxemia during the first VAP episode and severity of the initial brain injury are the main risk factors for VAP second episode in trauma injured patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to provide compelling evidence of anti-staphylococcal beta-lactam use for methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection (MSSA BSI). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively collected data on patients with MSSA BSI who were admitted to two academic tertiary-care hospitals from 2010 to 2018. Only patients who received nafcillin, cefazolin, vancomycin, or teicoplanin as definitive therapy were included. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. To perform unbiased comparisons between both treatments, we used inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis. RESULTS A total of 359 patients were divided into two groups based on the definitive therapy used: beta-lactams (n=203), including nafcillin or cefazolin; and glycopeptides (n=156), including vancomycin or teicoplanin. In the IPTW analysis, glycopeptides were associated with significantly increased odds of 28-day mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 3.37; 95% confidence interval, 1.71-6.61; p<0.001). The rate of primary outcome in prespecified subgroups was largely consistent with the main analysis. CONCLUSION Definitive therapy with beta-lactams in patients with MSSA BSI was associated with lower 28-day mortality compared to definitive therapy with glycopeptides.

Abstract
Lymphopenia is common in patients with sepsis and associated with mortality. Immune-stimulatory therapies likely to restore T-cells count and function are under investigation in sepsis. Our study aimed to assess whether lymphopenia is a reliable prognostic biomarker in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. We conducted an ancillary study of the prospective VIRSTA Study including 574 patients with S. aureus bacteremia in two tertiary care centers. Neither lymphocyte count at the onset nor lymphocyte change during the first 4 days was associated with 12-week mortality. These results highlight the importance of characterizing the immune profile of patients with sepsis according to the cause before investigating immunostimulatory therapies to restore lymphocyte proliferation and function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association between compliance with previously published quality indicators (QIs) for the management of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) and 30-day mortality. METHODS We conducted a post hoc analysis of all adult patients with SAB who were hospitalized at a Spanish university hospital between 2013 and 2018. We evaluated the compliance with 7 QIs of SAB management (i.e., Infectious Diseases consultation, follow-up blood cultures, early source control, echocardiography, early cloxacillin or cefazolin, vancomycin monitoring, and appropriate treatment duration). The QIs compliance rate was considered good if ≥75% of the QIs recommended in each patient were performed. We studied the impact of different risk factors (including QIs compliance) on 30-day all-cause mortality adjusting by multivariable modeling and propensity-matched analysis. RESULTS We included 441 patients with SAB. The QIs compliance rate was ≥75% in 361 patients (81.9%). A total of 95 patients (21.5%) died within 30 days after the index blood culture. In the multivariable model, the variables associated with 30-day mortality were: age (OR, 1.1; 95% CI, 1.0-1.1), Charlson comorbidity index (OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.1-1.4), persistent bacteraemia >72 h (OR, 6.0; 95% CI, 3.2-11.5), infective endocarditis (OR, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.2-6.7), and SAB of unknown source (OR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.5-7.1). We did not find an association between a global QIs compliance rate of ≥75% or any individual QI with 30-day mortality. CONCLUSIONS SAB 30-day mortality remains high despite good adherence to previously published QIs for the management of SAB. Future research should focus on additional factors to further improve SAB-related mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the incidence and risk factors of methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus ventilator associated pneumonia (MSSA-VAP) relapse in trauma and non-traumatic brain injury patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective observational monocentric cohort study of consecutive ICU patients who developed a first episode of MSSA-VAP after trauma and non-traumatic brain injury. MSSA-VAP relapse encompass MSSA-VAP treatment failure (persistence or recurrence of MSSA) or other pathogen - VAP. RESULTS A total of 165 patients (71% of trauma and 29% of non-traumatic brain injury) with MSSA-VAP were included. MSSA-VAP relapse occurred in 54 (33%) patients, including 28 (17%) MSSA-VAP treatment failure and 46 (28%) other pathogen-VAP. Empirical first-line antibiotic therapy was appropriate in 96% of cases. In multivariate analysis, the presence of Streptococcus species (Odds ratio [OR] 7.37) and oropharyngeal flora (OR 3.64) as initial MSSA co-pathogen, suggested aspiration at the time of admission and independently predicted MSSA-VAP treatment failure. Initial Glasgow coma scale (OR 0.89), need for emergent surgery (OR 5.71) and the presence of an acute respiratory distress syndrome at the time of the first MSSA-VAP (3.99), independently predicted the onset of other pathogen - VAP. CONCLUSION Early and simple factors may help to identify patients with high-risk of MSSA-VAP relapse.

Abstract
Background Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) have been shown to predict prognosis in sepsis. However, MMP-8 and TIMP-1 in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) lacks evaluation and their role in the pathogenesis of SAB is unclear. Methods MMP-8 and TIMP-1 and MMP-8/TIMP-1 molar ratio were determined at days 3, 5 and 28 from positive blood cultures in patients with methicillin-sensitive SAB and the connection to disease severity and early mortality was determined. Results Altogether 395 SAB patients were included. Patients with severe sepsis or infection focus presented higher MMP-8 levels at day 3 and 5 (p<0.01). Higher day 3 and 5 MMP-8 levels were associated to mortality at day 14 and 28 (p<0.01) and day 90 (p<0.05). Day 3 MMP-8 cut-off value of 203 ng/ml predicted death within 14 days with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.70 (95% CI 0.57–0.82) (p<0.01). Day 5 MMP-8 cut-off value of 239 ng/ml predicted death within 14 days with an AUC of 0.76 (95% CI 0.65–0.87) (p<0.001). The results for MMP-8/TIMP-1 resembled that of MMP-8. TIMP-1 had no prognostic impact. In Cox regression analysis day 3 or 5 MMP-8 or day 3 MMP-8/TIMP-1 had no prognostic impact whereas day 5 MMP-8/TIMP-1 predicted mortality within 14 days (HR, 4.71; CI, 95% 1.67–13.3; p<0.01). Conclusion MMP-8 and MMP-8/TIMP-1 ratio were high 3–5 days after MS-SAB diagnosis in patients with an infection focus, severe sepsis or mortality within 14 days suggesting that matrix metalloproteinase activation might play a role in severe SAB.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the role of high (≥ 1.5 mg/L) vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (VMIC) in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (MRSAB). A retrospective study was conducted at Mayo Clinic, Minnesota. Patients ≥ 18 years with a 3-month follow-up were included. Outcomes were defined as 30-day all-cause in-hospital mortality, median duration of bacteraemia, metastatic infectious complications, and relapse of MRSAB. A total of 475 patients with MRSAB were identified, and 93 (19.6%) of them had high VMIC isolates. Sixty-four percent of patients were male with a mean age of 69.0 years. Active solid organ malignancy and skin and soft tissue infection as source of MRSAB were associated with high VMIC, while septic arthritis as a complication was significantly associated with low VMIC on multivariate analysis. Eighty-one (17.1%) patients died within 30 days of hospitalization, with no significant difference in mortality rates between the two groups. In-hospital mortality, median duration of bacteraemia, and metastatic infectious complications were not significantly associated with high VMIC MRSAB.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. Yet, there is currently no adequate diagnostic test for early and rapid diagnosis of SAB. Therefore, this study was aimed at exploring the potential for clinical implementation of a nuclease-activatable fluorescent probe for early diagnosis of SAB. To this end, clinical blood culture samples from patients with bloodstream infections were incubated for 1 h with the "smart" activatable P2&3TT probe, the total assay time being less than 2 h. Cleavage of this probe by the secreted S. aureus enzyme micrococcal nuclease results in emission of a readily detectable fluorescence signal. Incubation of S. aureus-positive blood culture samples with the P2&3TT probe resulted in 50-fold higher fluorescence intensity levels than incubation with culture-negative samples. Moreover, incubation of the probe with non-S. aureus-positive blood cultures yielded essentially background fluorescence intensity levels for cultures with Gram-negative bacteria, and only ~ 3.5-fold increased fluorescence intensity levels over background for cultures with non-S. aureus Gram-positive bacteria. Importantly, the measured fluorescence intensities were dose-dependent, and a positive signal was clearly detectable for S. aureus-positive blood cultures with bacterial loads as low as ~ 7,000 colony-forming units/mL. Thus, the nuclease-activatable P2&3TT probe distinguishes clinical S. aureus-positive blood cultures from non-S. aureus-positive blood cultures and culture-negative blood, accurately, rapidly and with high sensitivity. We conclude that this probe may enhance the diagnosis of SAB.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Infective endocarditis is one of the most difficult-to-treat infectious diseases. AREAS COVERED We restricted this review to the anti-infective treatment of the main bacteria responsible for infective endocarditis, i.e. staphylococci, streptococci, enterococci, and Gram-negative bacilli, including HACEK. Specific topics of major interest in treatment strategy are covered as well, including empirical treatment, oral switch, and treatment duration. We searched in the MEDLINE database to identify relevant studies, trials, reviews, or meta-analyses until May 2020. EXPERT OPINION The use of aminoglycosides for the treatment of endocarditis has been dramatically reduced over the last 20 years. It should be administered once daily, and no longer than 2 weeks. For staphylococcal endocarditis, recent data reinforced the role of anti-staphylococcal penicillins, for methicillin-susceptible isolates (alternative, cefazolin), and vancomycin for methicillin-resistant isolates (alternative, daptomycin). For staphylococcal prosthetic-valve endocarditis, these treatments will be reinforced by the addition of gentamicin during the first 2 weeks, and rifampin throughout the whole treatment duration, i.e. 6 weeks. The optimal duration of antibacterial treatment is 4 weeks for most native valve endocarditis, and 6 weeks for prosthetic-valve endocarditis. The oral switch is safe in patients stabilized after the initial intravenous course.

Abstract
Background Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) is a serious and often fatal infectious disease. The quality of management of SAB is modifiable and can thus affect the outcome. Quality indicators (QIs) can be used to measure the quality of care of the various aspects of SAB management in hospitals, enabling professionals to identify targets for improvement and stimulating them to take action. Objectives To develop QIs for the management of hospitalized patients with SAB. Methods A RAND-modified Delphi procedure was used to develop a set of QIs for the management of SAB in hospitalized patients. First, available QIs for the management of SAB were extracted from the literature published since 1 January 2000 (MEDLINE and Embase databases). Thereafter, an international multidisciplinary expert panel appraised these QIs during two questionnaire rounds with an intervening face-to-face meeting. Results The literature search resulted in a list of 39 potential QIs. After appraisal by 30 medical specialists, 25 QIs describing recommended care at patient level were selected. These QIs defined appropriate follow-up blood cultures (n=2), echocardiography (n=6), source control (n=4), antibiotic therapy (n=7), antibiotic dose adjustment (n=2), intravenous-to-oral switch (n=2), infectious disease consultation (n=1) and medical discharge report (n=1). Conclusions A set of 25 QIs for the management of SAB for hospitalized patients was developed by using a RAND-modified Delphi procedure among international experts. These QIs can measure the quality of various aspects of SAB management. This information can be fed back to the relevant stakeholders in order to identify improvement targets and optimize care.

Impact of β-Lactam and Daptomycin Combination Therapy on Clinical Outcomes in Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia: A Propensity Score-matched Analysis. Clin Infect Dis 2020; 69:1480-1488. [PMID: 30615122 DOI: 10.1093/cid/ciz018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2018] [Accepted: 01/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mortality rates from Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia are high and have only modestly improved in recent decades. We compared the efficacies of a β-lactam in combination with daptomycin (BL/D-C) and β-lactam monotherapy (BL-M) in improving clinical outcomes in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) bacteremia. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of MSSA bacteremia was performed in a tertiary hospital from January 2011 to December 2017. Patients receiving BL/D-C and BL-M were compared to assess 7-, 30-, and 90-day mortality rates. A 1:2 propensity score matching analysis was performed. Differences were assessed using Cox regression models. RESULTS Of the 514 patients with MSSA bacteremia, 164 were excluded as they had received combination therapies other than BL/D-C, had pneumonia, or died within 48 hours of admission. Of the remaining 350 patients, 136 and 214 received BL/D-C and BL-M, respectively. BL/D-C patients had higher Pitt scores and persistent bacteremia more often than BL-M patients. In the raw analysis, there were no differences in mortality rates between groups. After propensity score matching, there were no significant differences between the BL/D-C (110 patients) and BL-M (168 patients) groups for all-cause mortality rates at 7 days (8.18% vs 7.74%; P = 1.000), 30 days (17.3% vs 16.1%; P = .922), and 90 days (22.7% vs 23.2%; P = 1.000), even in a subanalysis of patients with high-risk source of infection and in a subgroup excluding catheter-related bacteremia. CONCLUSIONS BL/D-C failed to reduce mortality rates in patients with MSSA bacteremia. Treatment strategies to improve survival in MSSA bacteremia are urgently needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus persistent bacteraemia is only vaguely defined and the effect of different durations of bacteraemia on mortality is not well established. Our primary aim was to analyse mortality according to duration of bacteraemia and to derive a clinically relevant definition for persistent bacteraemia. METHODS We did a secondary analysis of a prospective observational cohort study at 17 European centres (nine in the UK, six in Spain, and two in Germany), with recruitment between Jan 1, 2013, and April 30, 2015. Adult patients who were consecutively hospitalised with monomicrobial S aureus bacteraemia were included. Patients were excluded if no follow-up blood culture was taken, if the first follow-up blood-culture was after 7 days, or if active antibiotic therapy was started more than 3 days after first blood culture. The primary outcome was 90-day mortality. Univariable and time-dependent multivariable Cox regression analysis were used to assess predictors of mortality. Duration of bacteraemia was defined as bacteraemic days under active antibiotic therapy counting the first day as day 1. FINDINGS Of 1588 individuals assessed for eligibility, 987 were included (median age 65 years [IQR 51-75]; 625 [63%] male). Death within 90 days occurred in 273 (28%) patients. Patients with more than 1 day of bacteraemia (315 [32%]) had higher Charlson comorbidity index and sequential organ failure assessment scores and a longer interval from first symptom to first blood culture. Crude 90-day mortality increased from 22% (148 of 672) with 1 day of bacteraemia, to 39% (85 of 218) with 2-4 days, 43% (30 of 69) with 5-7 days, and 36% (10 of 28) with more than 7 days of bacteraemia. Metastatic infections developed in 39 (6%) of 672 patients with 1 day of bacteraemia versus 40 (13%) of 315 patients if bacteraemia lasted for at least 2 days. The second day of bacteraemia had the highest HR and earliest cutoff significantly associated with mortality (adjusted hazard ratio 1·93, 95% CI 1·51-2·46; p<0·0001). INTERPRETATION We suggest redefining the cutoff duration for persistent bacteraemia as 2 days or more despite active antibiotic therapy. Our results favour follow-up blood cultures after 24 h for early identification of all patients with increased risk of death and metastatic infection. FUNDING None.

Abstract
Background:Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), a leading cause of bacteremia and infective endocarditis, exploits the human coagulation system by using a wide range of specific virulence factors. However, the impact of these host-pathogen interactions on the outcome of patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) remains unclear. Methods: A total of 178 patients with S. aureus bacteremia were included and analyzed regarding bacterial factors (coa gene size, vWbp, clfA, clfB, fnbA, fnbB, fib) and clinical parameters. A stepwise multivariate Cox regression model and a Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM) cluster algorithm were used for statistical analysis. Results: Patients' risk factors for 28-day mortality were creatinine (OR 1.49, p < 0.001), age (OR 1.9, p < 0.002), fibrinogen (OR 0.44, p < 0.004), albumin (OR 0.63, p < 0.02), hemoglobin (OR 0.59, p < 0.03), and CRP (OR 1.72, p < 0.04). Five distinct bacterial clusters with different mortality rates were unveiled, whereof two showed a 2-fold increased mortality and an accumulation of specific coagulase gene sizes, 547-base pairs and 660-base pairs. Conclusions: Based on the data obtained in the present study an association of coagulase gene size and fib regarding 28-day mortality was observed in patients with S. aureus bloodstream infections. Further animal and prospective clinical studies are needed to confirm our preliminary findings.

Abstract
During 2008–2015, overall incidence increased by 50%, with a dramatic increase in persons >80 years of age. Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is a major cause of illness and death worldwide. We analyzed temporal trends of SAB incidence and death in Denmark during 2008–2015. SAB incidence increased 48%, from 20.76 to 30.37 per 100,000 person-years, during this period (p<0.001). The largest change in incidence was observed for persons >80 years of age: a 90% increase in the SAB rate (p<0.001). After adjusting for demographic changes, annual rates increased 4.0% (95% CI 3.0–5.0) for persons <80 years of age, 8.4% (95% CI 7.0–11.0) for persons 80–89 years of age, and 13.0% (95% CI 9.0–17.5) for persons >90 years of age. The 30-day case-fatality rate remained stable at 24%; crude population death rates increased by 53% during 2008–2015 (p<0.001). Specific causes and mechanisms for this rapid increase in SAB incidence among the elderly population remain to be clarified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bloodstream infections comprise a wide variety of pathogens and clinical syndromes with considerable overlap with similar syndromes of non-bacteraemic infections and diverse risk factors, therapeutic implications and outcomes. Yet, this heterogeneous 'entity' has the advantage to be pathogen-defined compared with the broad and even more heterogeneous entity 'sepsis', and so has become helpful for clinicians and epidemiologists for research and surveillance purposes. The increasing availability of population-based and large multicentre well-defined cohort studies should allow us to assess with much confidence and in detail its burden, the significance of antimicrobial resistance, and areas of uncertainty regarding further epidemiological evolution and optimized treatment regimens. AIM To review key aspects of bloodstream infection epidemiology and burden, and summarize recent news and questions concerning critical developments. SOURCES Peer-reviewed articles based on the search terms 'bloodstream infection' and 'bacteremia' combined with the terms 'epidemiology' and 'burden'. The emphasis was on new information from studies in adult patients and on the added burden due to pathogen resistance to first- and second-line antimicrobial agents. CONTENT Topics covered include recent developments in the epidemiology of bloodstream infection due to key pathogens and published information about the relevance of resistance for patient outcomes. IMPLICATIONS Despite the availability of population-based studies and an increasing number of large well-defined multicentre cohort studies, more surveillance and systematic data on bloodstream infection epidemiology at regional level and in resource-limited settings may be needed to better design new methods for prevention and define the need for and further develop optimized therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sex-related treatment inequalities are suggested to explain outcome differences between men and women in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB). We compared patient characteristics, clinical management, infectious specialist consultation (ISC) and outcome in men and women with SAB. METHODS Multicenter retrospective study of methicillin-sensitive (MS-) SAB patients categorized according to sex and ISC consultation provided within 7 days of diagnosis. RESULTS Altogether 617 SAB patients were included in the analysis: 62% males and 38% females. Male sex was associated less often to nosocomial bacteremia (OR 0.69, 95% CI 0.50-0.96, p = 0.029) and more often to alcoholism (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.31-3.87, p = 0.003). No sex-related differences were seen in basic or immunologic laboratory tests, illness severity, intensive care unit treatment or thromboembolic events. ISC was provided to most patients (94%) irrespective of sex. No differences were seen in clinical management of men or women: Transthoracic or -esophageal echocardiography (61% vs. 65%), deep infection (77% vs. 72%), infection removal (30% vs. 27%) and anti-staphylococcal antibiotics as first-line treatment (54% vs. 51%). However, male sex was connected to more frequent adjunctive rifampicin treatment (52% vs. 41%, p = 0.025). No difference in 28- or 90-day mortality (13% vs. 13% and 18% vs. 20%) or SAB relapse (0% vs. 1%) was observed between men and women. Propensity-score adjusted Cox proportional analysis gave no connection of sex to mortality within 90 days. CONCLUSION Patient characteristics, clinical management, ISC guidance, bacteremia relapse, and outcome did not differ in men and women with MS-SAB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Data on the management and outcomes of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) in resource-limited settings are limited. The aim of this study was to describe a cohort of South African patients with SAB, and explore the factors associated with complicated infection and death. METHODS This was a prospective observational study of patients over the age of 13 years admitted to a South African referral hospital with SAB. RESULTS One hundred SAB infection episodes occurring in 98 patients were included. SAB was healthcare-associated in 68.4%; 24.0% of all cases were caused by methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Ninety-day mortality was 47.0%, with 83.3% of deaths attributable to SAB. There was a trend towards increased 90-day mortality with MRSA infection (odds ratio (OR) 1.28, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.0-15.1) and the presence of comorbidities (OR 4.1, 95% CI 1.0-21.6). The risk of complicated infection was higher with non-optimal definitive antibiotic therapy (OR 8.5, 95% CI 1.8-52.4), female sex (OR 3.8, 95% CI 1.1-16.3), and community-acquired infection (OR 7.4, 95% CI 2.0-33.1). Definitive antibiotic therapy was non-optimal in 22.6% of all cases. CONCLUSIONS SAB-related mortality was high. A large proportion of cases may be preventable, and there is a need for improved antibiotic management.

Abstract
Background Penicillin allergy frequently impacts antibiotic choice. As beta-lactams are superior to vancomycin in treating methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteremia, we examined the effect of reported penicillin allergy on clinical outcomes in patients with MSSA bacteremia. Methods In this retrospective cohort study of adults with MSSA bacteremia admitted to a large tertiary care hospital, outcomes were examined according to reported penicillin allergy. Primary outcomes included 30-day and 90-day mortality rates. Multivariable regression models were developed to quantify the effect of reported penicillin allergy on mortality while adjusting for potential confounders. Results From 2010 to 2015, 318 patients with MSSA bacteremia were identified. Reported penicillin allergy had no significant effect on adjusted 30-day mortality (odds ratio [OR], 0.73; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.29-1.84; P = .51). Patients with reported penicillin allergy were more likely to receive vancomycin (38% vs 11%, P < .01), but a large number received cefazolin regardless of reported allergy (29 of 66, 44%). Mortality rates were highest among nonallergic patients receiving vancomycin (22.6% vs 7.4% for those receiving beta-lactams regardless of reported allergy, P < .01). In multivariable analysis, beta-lactam receipt was most strongly associated with survival (OR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.12-0.54). Conclusions Reported penicillin allergy had no significant effect on 30- or 90-day mortality. Non-penicillin-allergic patients receiving vancomycin for treatment of MSSA bacteremia had the highest mortality rates overall. Receipt of a beta-lactam was the strongest predictor of survival. These results underscore the importance of correct classification of patients with penicillin allergy and appropriate treatment with a beta-lactam when tolerated.

Cefazolin versus anti-staphylococcal penicillins for treatment of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia: a narrative review. Clin Microbiol Infect 2017; 24:125-132. [PMID: 28698037 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmi.2017.07.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2017] [Revised: 06/27/2017] [Accepted: 07/01/2017] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-staphylococcal penicillins (ASPs) are recommended as first-line agents in methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteraemia. Concerns about their safety profile have contributed to the increased use of cefazolin. The comparative clinical effectiveness and safety profile of cefazolin versus ASPs for such infections remain unclear. Furthermore, uncertainty persists concerning the use of cefazolin due to controversies over its efficacy in deep MSSA infections and its possible negative ecological impact. AIMS The aim of this narrative review was to gather and balance available data on the efficacy and safety of cefazolin versus ASPs in the treatment of MSSA bacteraemia and to discuss the potential negative ecological impact of cefazolin. SOURCES PubMed and EMBASE electronic databases were searched up to May 2017 to retrieve available studies on the topic. CONTENTS Although described in vitro and in experimental studies, the clinical relevance of the inoculum effect during cefazolin treatment of deep MSSA infections remains unclear. It appears that there is no significant difference in rate of relapse or mortality between ASPs and cefazolin for the treatment of MSSA bacteraemia but these results should be cautiously interpreted because of the several limitations of the available studies. Compared with cefazolin, there is more frequent discontinuation for adverse effects with ASP use, especially because of cutaneous and renal events. No study has evidenced any change in the gut microbiota after the use of cefazolin. IMPLICATIONS Based on currently available studies, there are no data that enable a choice to be made of one antibiotic over the other except in patients with allergy or renal impairment. This review points out the need for future prospective studies and randomized controlled trials to better address these questions.
