Abstract
Purpose Polyhexanide is a safe and effective wound care antiseptic commonly used in clinics as wound rinsing solution and gel. However, the efficacy of Polyhexanide in treatment of wound infected with MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is unknown. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of polyhexanide with povidone iodine in treating wound infected with MRSA. Patients and Methods A prospective analysis of 62 patients with wound infections, who were admitted to our department from 2016 to 2020, was conducted in order to assess the efficacy of different treatment approaches. The patients were divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. In the experimental group, 30 patients underwent treatment with a combination of diluted povidone iodine and polyhexanide immersion. Conversely, in the control group, 32 patients received treatment with diluted povidone iodine along with systemic antibiotic therapy. The time required for dressing changes, bacterial clearance rates, and the Bates-Jasen wound assessment tool (BWAT) scores were utilized as indicators to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments. Results In our study, the findings indicated that the experimental group exhibited a lesser number of days for the bacteria culture to turn negative compared to the control group, with statistical significance (p<0.05). Furthermore, the decline in the BWAT score was significantly greater in the experimental group than in the control group (p<0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in terms of dressing times and wound coverage between the two groups (p>0.05). Conclusion Polyhexanide combined with povidone iodine can effectively remove MRSA infection in wounds and reduce antibiotic dosages.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity has increased considerably in the last few decades. Pathophysiological changes in obese patients lead to pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) alterations that can condition the correct exposure to antimicrobials if standard dosages are used. Inadequate dosing in obese patients can lead to toxicity or therapeutic failure. In recent years, additional antimicrobial PK/PD data, extended infusion strategies, and studies in critically ill patients have made it possible to obtain data to provide a better dosage in obese patients. Despite this, it is usually difficult to find information on drug dosing in this population, which is sometimes contradictory. This is a comprehensive review of the dosing of different types of antimicrobials (antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, and antituberculosis drugs) in obese patients, where the literature on PK and possible dosing strategies in obese adults was critically assessed.

J Infect Chemother 2024:S1341-321X(24)00100-4. [PMID: 38552840 DOI: 10.1016/j.jiac.2024.03.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/01/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Estimating the serum vancomycin (VCM) concentrations of lean and patients with obesity is challenging. Additionally, VCM dosing for Japanese patients undergoing hemodialysis remains particularly unclear. This study aimed to determine the impact of the physical build on serum VCM concentrations of Japanese patients undergoing hemodialysis. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included hospitalized patients undergoing hemodialysis, who received treatment with VCM between May 1, 2019, and December 31, 2021, at Kansai Rosai Hospital, which is a 642-bed acute care hospital in Japan. Patients were divided into the following three groups based on their body mass index (BMI): lean group (≤18.5 kg/m2), normal group (18.5-25 kg/m2), and obese group (≥25 kg/m2). The VCM dose and predialysis serum VCM concentration (PVC) were compared. RESULTS This study included 191 patients. There were 50 patients in the lean group, 85 in the normal group, and 56 in the obese group. The median loading doses per body weight were 24.0, 22.1, and 21.2 mg/kg for the lean, normal, and obese groups, respectively. The VCM dose per body weight decreased significantly with increasing BMI. The median PVCs of the lean and normal groups were approximately 15 mg/L (not significantly different). However, the median PVC of the obese group was 18.3 mg/L, which was significantly higher (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The VCM dose per body weight for Japanese patients undergoing hemodialysis should be adjusted based on the BMI.

Factors associated with an unfavorable clinical course in hospitalized patients with pelvic inflammatory disease: a retrospective cohort study of 117 patients from a Japanese academic institution. BMC Womens Health 2022; 22:348. [PMID: 35978309 PMCID: PMC9387057 DOI: 10.1186/s12905-022-01925-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background This study aimed to determine the factors associated with an unfavorable clinical course (emergency surgery and/or prolonged hospitalization) in patients requiring hospitalization owing to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Methods A retrospective study was performed on 117 patients diagnosed with PID who were admitted to our hospital between January 2014 and December 2018. Multivariate regression analysis was conducted to determine the factors associated with emergency surgical intervention, and prolonged hospitalization in a subgroup of successful expectant management (n = 93). Results The average age (mean ± standard deviation) of the patients was 41.2 ± 12.5 years; 16 (13.7%) were postmenopausal; 81 patients (69.2%) complicated with a tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) of which 59 (72.9%) had an ovarian endometrioma; and 19 patients (16.2%) had a history of various intrauterine manipulations. Emergency surgery was performed in 24 patients (20.5%), and patients with TOA underwent emergency surgery more often than did patients without TOA (25.9% vs. 8.3%, p = 0.03), and TOA was associated with longer length of hospital stay (17.1 days vs. 8.0 days, p = 0.01). Smoking, postmenopausal status, past medical history of PID, and high C-reactive protein (CRP) level at admission were significantly associated with emergency surgery. In patients with successful expectant management, obesity (body mass index ≥ 30) and high WBC and CRP level at admission were significantly associated with prolonged hospitalization. Conclusions Of the patients requiring hospitalization owing to PID, TOA was associated with both emergency surgery and prolonged hospital stay. Patients with increased inflammatory markers and obesity should be considered to be at a high risk for unfavorable clinical course in the management of PID.

Abstract
In terms of life- menaced contagion, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is known to be one of which and it is truly notable in the contaminated food causing a community health anxiety. However, the occurrence of S. aureus and MRSA in diverse kinds of dairy products have been tested in this study. Samples from: raw milk (unpasteurized) from horse, goat, camel, and cow origins and unpacked cheese were checked for the recovered strains of such bacterium and MRSA. Wholly, MRSA isolates were verified for antimicrobial susceptibility and further characterized by mecA and staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing. Also, Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL), Staphylococcus aureus protein A (spa), and Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) were also tested between all positive MRSA isolates in order to discover the virulence factors. Consequently, 70% of the 100 collected dairy products samples were contaminated by S. aureus bacteria and 72.9% of them were defined as MRSA. 9.8% of MRSA isolates contained mecA genes with SCCmec type II (80%) as the most common SCCmec type. Moreover, large number of MRSA isolates were identified as multidrug resistance and 28.6% of MRSA-mecA positive isolates were also carried vancomycin resistance genes (i.e., vanB). Too, spa gene was detected between 9.8% of MRSA isolates but PVL gene was not spotted at all. Additionally, the existing of SEs was variable between MRSA isolates and the most common type was SEH (51%). In general, our results confirmed that raw milk and unpacked cheese in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Riyadh) is a potential vehicle for multidrug resistant MRSA transmission. It is a critical civic health menace and stresses, thus; the need of applying well cleanliness practices is essential.

Abstract
Purpose The objective of our study was to determine if obesity is associated with the presence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria among Enterobacterales. Patients and Methods This two-center cohort study included adult hospitalized patients with at least one specimen sampled from any site for bacterial culture yielding an Enterobacterales bacterial species from November 2016 to May 2017. Study groups were stratified by obesity status based on body mass index <30 kg/m2 (non-obese) and ≥30 kg/m2 (obese). The primary outcome was the presence of gram-negative MDR bacteria defined as presumptive extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales (ceftriaxone resistance) or carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE). A multivariable logistic regression model was fit to estimate the adjusted odds ratio while controlling for potential confounders. Results A total of 366 patients, 238 non-obese and 128 obese, were included. The most common gram-negative bacterial species identified was Escherichia coli (64.2%). There was a higher proportion of gram-negative MDR bacteria in obese versus non-obese patients (18.8 versus 11.3%, P=0.057). Obesity was independently associated with gram-negative MDR bacteria after controlling for confounders (adjusted odds ratio, 1.92; 95% CI 1.03–3.60). The association did not significantly vary by diabetes status (interaction term P=0.792). Conclusion Among older adult hospitalized patients, obesity was independently associated with the presence of a gram-negative MDR bacteria (presumptive ESBL or CRE) in a culture.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus mainly Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) is a life-threatening infection that occurring in food and caused a public health concern. This study designed to examine the prevalence of S. aureus and MRSA in different types of processed food. Food samples were screened for the recovered strains of S. aureus and MRSA, and they were examined for antimicrobial susceptibility and by molecular characterization of mecA and staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec(SCCmec). Detection of virulence factors like Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL), Staphylococcus aureus protein A(spa) and Staphylococcal enterotoxins(SEs) by PCR using specific primers. Among the 150 collected processed food samples, 62.7% were contaminated by S. aureus bacteria, 56.4% of which were proved as MRSA. 17% of MRSA isolates were positive for mecA genes with the SCCmec type IVb and V (11.1% each) as the solely existing types of SCCmec. None of the MRSA isolates carried mecC or mecB genes. Most of MRSA isolates were multidrug resistance and 33.3% of MRSA-mecA positive isolates also carried vancomycin resistance genes (i.e., vanB). In addition, spa gene was found among 7.5% of MRSA isolates; none of which were positive for PVL gene. Further, there were variant presence of SEs among MRSA isolates and the highest presence was from type SEH (49.1%). Generally, our results confirmed that processed foods in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh) are potential vehicles for multidrug resistant S. aureus and MRSA transmission; which are serious public health risks, and underlined the need for good hygiene practices.
