Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis
Methicillin was introduced in 1959 to treat penicillin-resistant S. aureus infection, however Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was reported 2 years later (1). The most common organism identified in acute infective endocarditis (AIE) is still S. aureus associated with increased hospital mortality, morbidity and hospitalization. In Germany the proportion of MRSA among S. aureus microbiologi...
متن کاملClonal distribution of superantigen genes in clinical Staphylococcus aureus isolates.
Staphylococcus aureus is both a successful human commensal and a major pathogen. The elucidation of the molecular determinants of virulence, in particular assessment of the contributions of the genetic background versus those of mobile genetic elements (MGEs), has proved difficult in this variable species. To address this, we simultaneously determined the genetic backgrounds (spa typing) and th...
متن کاملRise of CC398 Lineage of Staphylococcus aureus among Infective Endocarditis Isolates Revealed by Two Consecutive Population-Based Studies in France
Staphylococcus aureus isolates from two prospective studies on infective endocarditis (IE) conducted in 1999 and 2008 and isolated from non-IE bacteremia collected in 2006 were spa-typed and their virulence factors were analyzed with a microarray. Both populations were genetically diverse, with no virulence factors or genotypes significantly more associated with the IE isolates compared with th...
متن کاملStaphylococcus caprae native mitral valve infective endocarditis
INTRODUCTION Staphylococcus caprae is a rare cause of infective endocarditis. Here, we report a case involving the native mitral valve in the absence of an implantable cardiac electronic device. CASE PRESENTATION A 76-year-old man presented with a 2 week history of confusion and pyrexia. His past medical history included an open reduction and internal fixation of a humeral fracture 17 years p...
متن کاملStaphylococcus Aureus Bacteraemia and Endocarditis
Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of bloodstream infections and endocarditis. S. aureus bacteraemia (SAB) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, and endocarditis is a severe complication. Population-based studies on S. aureus bacteraemia have been sparse, and few large studies exist on S. aureus endocarditis (SAE). The objective of this thesis was to study the epidemiology...
