MRSA and its treatment

1. Introduction

1.1 Staphylococcus aureus

Staphylococcus aureus is a voluntary, positive anaerobic cocci Gram and appears as resembling bunches of grapes when viewed through a microscope and has large, round, golden yellow colonies. Staphyloxanthin carotenoid pigment is responsible for Staphylococcus aureus in gold, which can be seen in colonies of the organism. This pigment acts as a virulence factor with an antioxidant that helps the microbe to evade the death of species Reactive oxygen used by the host immune system. Staphylococcus organisms that lack the pigments are more easily killed by host defenses.

Staphylococcus aureus is catalase positive, and this property is useful to distinguish staphylococci streptococci and enterococci. It is mainly coagulase-positive, while most other species of Staphylococcus coagulase-negative are.

Depending on the strain, S. aureus is capable of secreting various toxins as super antigens, toxins, exfoliative and other toxins, such as alpha-toxin, beta toxin, delta-toxin, and toxins two components to many. Many of these toxins are associated with specific diseases.

It is often part of the flora of the skin in the nose and skin. Staphylococcus aureus often carry the skin or nose of healthy people. Approximately 25% to 30% of human populations are long-term carriers of Staphylococcus aureus in the nose. Can also be made in the armpit, groin or genital area. Staph bacteria are one of the most common causes of skin infections in the United States. Most of these skin infections are minor such as pimples and boils and can be treated without antibiotics. However, it can also cause infections serious such as pneumonia, bloodstream infections and osteo-articular

Staphylococcus aureus is an important nosocomial and acquired in community pathogens. It is the most common cause of nosocomial infections, which cause clinical disease. In the past, these staph infections are usually easy course of treatment at low cost, short, antibiotics generally well tolerated. Now, more than half of staph infections resistant to the skin and cause are commonly used for antibiotics and infections often return despite apparently successful initial treatment.

1.2 Staphylococcus aureus resistant to methicillin

strain of MRSA is a strain of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus resistant to methicillin and other common antibiotics used anyibiotics such as penicillin.

MRSA has undergone rapid changes in the evolution Epidemiological and expansion to become a major cause of nosocomial infections and community acquired infections worldwide since its discovery four decades ago.

Methicillin Methicillin or beta-lactam class is a narrow spectrum penicillin, an antibiotic was developed in 1959 and already used to treat infections caused by beta-lactamase producing Staphylococcus aureus, an antibiotic semi-synthetic penicillin-related, also known as Staphcillin was once effective against staphylococci resistant to penicillin and produce penicillinase enzyme. European hospitals found resistant strains of S. aureus- aureus only two years later, and 1980 was MRSA in hospitals around the world, including Siberia and India.

The first cases of MRSA in India was reported in 1996.

The origin of MRSA was limited to hospitals and long-term care, antibiotic use was a risk factor for MRSA infection. infected and colonized residents may serve as potential sources of the spread of MRSA in health care facilities long term. Older residents have a higher risk of colonization by MRSA, as well as having the potential to carry MRSA for long periods of time.

Methicillin was replaced by vancomycin. Distribution of Staphylococcus aureus is worldwide: Up to 11% -40% of the population is estimated to be colonized. Staphylococcus aureus bacterial strains can produce proteolytic enzymes, and exfoliative exotoxin TSST-1. Addition of antibiotic resistance to this long list of pathogenic mechanisms is a superbug MRSA great. Because MRSA is so resistant to antibiotics, so-called "super" by some researchers.

2. SARM Categories

MRSA has been classified into two categories depending on the circumstances of contracting the disease.

2.1 nosocomial MRSA (HA-MRSA)

HA-MRSA is more common in patients who undergo invasive medical procedures or who have weakened immune systems and are treated in hospitals and health centers such as nursing homes and dialysis centers. MRSA in health care centers usually cause serious infections and potentially fatal infections such as blood flow, surgical site infections or pneumonia.
The most common sources of transmission in the case of MRSA-H Patients who have MRSA infection or carry the bacteria in their bodies, but do not have symptoms (colonized).

2.2-MRSA the community (CA-MRSA)

MRSA infections that occur in healthy people who have not recently been hospitalized or had a medical procedure such as dialysis, surgery, catheters were classified as community-associated (CA-MRSA). These are usually skin infections such as abscesses, boils and other pus-filled lesions.

About 75 percent of MRSA infections are in- tissues of the skin and soft and can usually be treated effectively. However, MRSA strains display increased virulence, spread rapidly on and cause more severe illness than MRSA infections-traditional and may affect vital organs, leading to a generalized infection, sepsis shock syndrome toxic and pneumonia. The origin of CA-MRSA infection may be difficult to achieve.

-MRSA infections have been identified among certain populations that share close or experience more skin to skin contact, in situations where there is a close skin contact with skin when personal items like towels, razors, shaving and sports equipment is shared, when personal hygiene is compromised, and when health care is limited. CA-MRSA is genetically distinct strains prevalent in hospitals and can cause infections in young people with no link with health care environments. Examples are team athletes, military recruits prisoners.

3. History

Brief history:

1940 has brought penicillin

Staphylococcus aureus 1942 seems resistant to penicillin

Presented methicillin 1959, most strains of Staphylococcus aureus in hospitals and the community are resistant peniciillin

1961-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) appears

1963 First outbreak of infection nosocomial methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

1996 Staphylococcus aureus resistant to vancomycin (VRSA) reported Japan

The bacteria Staphylococcus aureus was discovered in 1880. In the 1940s, medical treatment for infections Staphylococcus aureus has become a routine and successful with the discovery and introduction of antibiotic drugs such as penicillin. Since then, the use of antibiotics that both the misuse and abuse has contributed to the natural evolution of bacteria, helping germs become resistant to drugs designed to help combat these infections.
At the end of 1940 and during the 1950s, Staphylococcus aureus resistant to penicillin.

Methicillin, a form of penicillin, was introduced to fight against the growing crisis Staphylococcus aureus resistant to penicillin. Methicillin was one of the most common types of antibiotics used for treat Staphylococcus aureus, but in 1961, scientists identified the first strains of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus resistant methicillin. This was the supposed birth of MRSA.

The first human case of MRSA reported in the United States entered in 1968. Later, new strains of bacteria developed that can now resist the previously effective drugs such as methicillin and antibiotics closest.

In 2002, doctors in the United States recognized the first strains of Staphylococcus aureus resistant to antibiotics, vancomycin, which was one of several alternative antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus. Although there are fears that this could quickly become an important concern of antibiotic resistance, far, strains resistant to vancomycin are still rare that time.

4. Causes

One of the genetic elements that can be transferred from one bacterium to another series of Staphylococcus aureus to develop resistance to antibiotics. At least five types of genetic material known SCCmec IV genes. HA-MRSA usually have genes I-III, whereas CA-MRSA have genes IV-V. HA-MRSA is antibiotic resistant CA-MRSA.

The Bacteria can be transmitted by direct contact with fluids from the skin and body towels indirect contact, diapers and toys uninfected individuals. In Furthermore, some people have MRSA on your body, skin or nose or throat, but do not have symptoms of infection, these people are known carriers of MRSA and MRSA can spread to others.

Statistics show that CA-MRSA is the predominant type of MRSA in the population. The main causes of resistance Antibiotic includes the unnecessary use of antibiotics in humans. Super Bug MRSA is the result of decades of excessive and unnecessary antibiotics. For years, antibiotics were prescribed for colds, flu and other viral infections that do not respond to these drugs, and simple Bacterial infections usually go away by themselves.

4.1 The common risk factors for acquiring MRSA

1. Hospitalization or confinement in a place where MRSA is endemic

2. prolonged hospital stay or more

3. Age over 65

4. For example, invasive devices, endotracheal tubes, catheters, surgical drains, stomach

5. Treatment with multiple antibiotics with broad spectrum

6. Conditions that suppress the immune system

7. Open wounds or breaks in the skin, including scratches, abrasions or bites

8. Hospitalized patients often have sites that are easily contaminated MRSA

9. Unsanitary or overcrowded, as military barracks or dormitories

10. Sharing towels or other personal items

11. Playing contact sports

12. Patients hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit or surgical

5. Symptoms

Staphylococcus aureus can cause a variety of diseases of minor skin infections such as pimples, impetigo, boils and carbuncles, cellulitis folliculitis, Anthrax, the scalded skin syndrome and abscesses, a deadly disease such as pneumonia, meningitis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, toxic shock syndrome (TSS), chest pain, bacteremia and septicemia. Incidence of skin tissue soft, respiratory, bone, joint, endovascular to wound infections. It is one of the five most common causes of nosocomial infections, causing often other surgical wound infections.

Symptoms depend on the site of MRSA infection. Often causes mild infections of the skin, causing pimples or boils. But it can also cause more serious infections of the skin or infect surgical wounds, the bloodstream, lungs or urinary tract.

Symptoms of MRSA infections are variable, however, production of pus is often found in the infected area. Samples containing pus patients conventional areas are boils, abscesses, boils, styes and impetigo. Cellulite does not usually pus, but it starts with small red bumps on the skin and may also be due to MRSA. These symptoms are most often found in the CA-MRSA, but can also be found in HA-MRSA. When antibiotic treatment fails, the CA-MRSA and HA should be considered as a potential cause of infection.

Symptoms 5.1 HA-MRSA

MRSA infections are usually suspected-H when the hospitalized patient develops signs of sepsis such as fever, chills, low blood pressure, weakness and mental deterioration, even if the patient is treated with an antibiotic.

5.2 Symptoms of CA-MRSA

patients with CA-MRSA who develop sepsis or pneumonia (lung infection) requiring hospitalization immediately. However, hospitalized patients did not need a site primary infection with MRSA, one site where MRSA can invade (or severe infection Invasive MRSA) and proliferate for example, a surgical site, rather than injection, or the site of an implanted device. Therefore, symptoms production of pus or signs of sepsis in hospitalized patients, especially immunocompromised such as HIV, cancer or the elderly may be due to MRSA.

MRSA infections can see exactly how ordinary staph infections of the skin: a small red bump, grain, or boiled. The area may be red, painful and swollen or hot to the touch. Pus or other fluids can be drained ulcer. Most skin infections MRSA are mild, but can change, ever deeper and more serious.

Insect bites, skin rashes and other skin conditions MRSA can be mistaken as symptoms may be similar: redness, swelling, warmth or tenderness.

When Skin infection spreads or does not improve after 2-3 days in the usual antibiotics, MRSA can be.

Most MRSA infections are skin infections that produce signs and symptoms:

1. Cellulitis – an infection of the deeper layers of the skin or adipose tissue located immediately beneath the skin. On the surface, the skin is pink or red, like sunburn and can be hot, swollen and painful.
2. Boiling – Infection hair follicles filled with pus
3. Abscess – A collection of pus under the skin. Infection under the skin that goes without proper treatment, time can become an abscess. This type of infection can require surgical drainage and antibiotics to cure
4. Sty – An infection of the eyelid glands
5. Anthrax – infections over an abscess, usually with several openings in the skin
6. Impetigo – a skin infection with pus-filled blisters.

6. Diagnosis

MRSA can be diagnosed by a positive culture, along with signs and symptoms of infection. In the case of positive culture, MRSA is usually a culture of blood, wounds, respiratory secretions, urine, or surgical specimens. common sites of infection and colonization are wounds, tracheostomy sites, the airways of patients at sites tubated catheter and IV.

Colonization can be detected by culturing the organism from an asymptomatic patient. In this case, MRSA is usually cultured skin, nostrils, and rectum. After Staphylococcus aureus is identified, antibiotic susceptibility testing should be performed.

Some patient populations such as hemodialysis patients, users of intravenous drugs, persons suffering from skin diseases like eczema, and patients with diabetes insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus have increased rates of staphylococcal carriage.

The diagnosis of MRSA infection is established by culture of bacteria from an infected area. Every surface of the skin with pus, abscess, or bulbs should be grown for MRSA. Patients with sepsis or pneumonia with blood cultures. Pus from surgical wounds, bone marrow, joint fluid, or almost anywhere in the body that may be infected must be cultured for MRSA.

The sample is obtained from the infection site and sent to a microbiology laboratory analysis. If Staphylococcus aureus is the organism should be tested to determine which antibiotic to be effective for treatment.

Laboratory studies to diagnose definitively a person is infected with MRSA are simple. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated and identified the patient by microbiological techniques (growth on plates of agar Baird-Parker and tested for coagulase positive). The coagulase test is a laboratory test based on the ability of Staphylococcus aureus to produce the enzyme coagulase which ultimately leads to the formation of a clot blood. After the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, the bacteria are then cultured in the presence of methicillin (and usually other antibiotics). If Staphylococcus aureus grown in the presence of methicillin, the bacteria are called MRSA.

MRSA detected cleaning the skin, nose or throat of asymptomatic and implementation of cultivation techniques described above.

Doctors usually diagnose MRSA by checking a tissue sample or nasal secretions of bacteria resistant to drugs. The current diagnostic procedures for sending a sample to a laboratory where it is placed into a source of nutrients that stimulate the growth of bacteria (culture). It takes about 48 hours for bacterial growth. However, new tests that can detect staph DNA in the hours are becoming more accessible. This will help providers Health comment on the rules appropriate treatment for a patient more quickly after an official diagnosis has been made.

7. Treatment

MRSA is of particular concern in treatment, as is often resistant to multiple drugs.

Therefore unnecessary use of antibiotics should be discouraged. This reduces the survival advantage of MRSA and other resistant bacteria. The basic measures of infection control are critical for success. A careful assessment of the culture and sensitivity should be account.Infection is often confused with the regulations and may lead to unnecessary use of antimicrobial agents. Possible anatomical sites of colonization are the nostrils, the members of armpits, upper urinary tract and perineum

The treatment of choice for infection with Staphylococcus aureus was penicillin, but in most countries, penicillin resistance is very common first line therapy is more of a beta-lactam β penicillinase-resistant such as oxacillin or flucloxacillin

Health care providers can treat many skin infections with S. aureus drain the abscess or boil and no need to use antibiotics. Drainage of pus is the primary surgical treatment of MRSA infections. Items that can serve sources of infection, such as buffers, etc. Intravenous must be eliminated. These foreign bodies are a likely source of infection, for example, artificial implants, heart valves artificial pacemakers may need to be removed if appropriate antibiotic therapy is unsuccessful. Other areas that can harbor MRSA and may need assistance are common surgical infections, abscesses, postoperative, and osteomyelitis. Any site that continues to harbor seed MRSA in patients and is not adequately treated by antibiotic therapy should be considered for surgery. Drainage of pus must be followed by appropriate antibiotic treatment.

Bactrim and vancomycin are often the first drugs used to treat most MRSA infections caused by MDR strains. Vancomycin was effective in treatment of invasive MRSA infections, but must be administered intravenously.

There are strong indications that the active detection of patients at high risk when combined with precautions contact, hand hygiene and appropriate staff training can reduce transmission of MRSA, even in institutions where it is very endemic.

1. Many minor MRSA infections can be successfully treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, if the sensitivity is established by the evidence. Using topical agents such as mupirocin, and antibacterial soaps have had some value in the absence of foci of active infection. Mupirocin is an antibiotic used exclusively as an antibacterial topical and intranasal is effective in reducing surgical site infections and the risk of bronchopulmonary infection. It exerts its antimicrobial effect specifically and irreversibly binding to bacterial tRNA synthetase isoleucyl, thereby preventing protein synthesis. Has been used extensively for the settlement MRSA nasal colonization during outbreaks.

2. Clindamycin, cotrimoxazole, fluoroquinolones and minocycline may be useful when patients have no infections caused life-threatening illnesses by strains susceptible to these agents.

3. For severe infections caused by strains susceptible to vancomycin and rifampin combination therapy fluoroquinolones can improve the results. Rifampicin should not be used alone to treat MRSA infections because of the rapid development of resistance. The infecting strain should always be tested for sensitivity before beginning treatment.

The two new drugs, quinupristin-dalfopristin (Synercid ®) and linezolid (Zyvox ™) are also effective in MRSA infections, but routine use is often discouraging to prevent resistance in response to these agents. Other experimental agents are in various stages of research but not yet approved for use.

The most severe infections with MRSA treated with two or more antibiotics intravenously, in combination, are effective against MRSA, eg, vancomycin, rifampicin, linezolid, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole et al. Combination therapy with gentamicin may be used to treat infections serious, such as endocarditis, but its use is controversial because of the risk of kidney damage.

The duration of treatment depends on the site of infection and gravity. Treatment with fluoroquinolones or cephalosporins, however, may increase the risk of HA-MRSA.
Therefore, in addition to most beta-lactam antibiotics MRSA is becoming resistant to erythromycin, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, cotrimoxazole and rifampicin.

Recently, reports were due to vancomycin resistance to vancomycin of MRSA infections in pets or sites that have low penetration failure vancomycin. Few drugs such as tigecycline, daptomycin and linezolid shows the potential of treatment. Lipopeptide daptomycin in acid with a mode of calcium requiring action being significantly better bactericidal activity than vancomycin against S. aureus and enterococci and has activity against a small number S. glycopeptide intermediate aureus (GISA) strains of enterococci resistant to vancomycin

Antibiotic therapy is always the medical center of MRSA, but it is complicated by antibiotic resistance of MRSA. Therefore, the laboratory determination of resistance and antibiotic susceptibility of MRSA is important in the establishment of effective antibiotic treatment.

Definitive antibiotic therapy depends on the use of antibiotics found in the microbiological testing by Kirby-Bauer antibiotic disc agar to effectively reduce and stop growth of MRSA. Once the antibiotic susceptibility of the patient sample is determined, the patient can be treated properly. Unfortunately, these tests require time, usually several days before results are available. Earlier diagnosis and appropriate treatment for MRSA is, the better the prognosis.

Unfortunately, patients may die of MRSA, even with appropriate antibiotic if the infection is aborted defense mechanisms of patients, the immune system.

8. MRSA Protection

MRSA is transmitted by contact between humans, the infection can also spread by pets. You can get MRSA by touching someone who carries the bacteria or by touching something an infected person has touched.
After things have been associated with the spread of MRSA:

1. Close skin contact with skin

2. The openings in the skin such as cuts or abrasions

3. items and surfaces contaminated

4. crowded conditions, such as hospitals or prisons

5. Poor hygiene

Health care centers, the People who carry MRSA are often isolated from other patients to prevent bacteria from spreading. Carriers of MRSA have the ability to spread, even if they are sick themselves. Because the strains from hospitals and the community of MRSA generally occur in different places, the risk factors for both different strains. MRSA remains a concern in hospitals, where you can attack those most vulnerable and the elderly to the system weakened immune, burns, surgical wounds or serious underlying health. People who are on dialysis, are catheterized or have feeding tubes or other invasive devices are at higher risk.

Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium resistant incredible, but polyester can survive in less than three months, the polyester is the key used in the curtains of privacy in the hospital is a major concern. The bacterium is carried in the hands of health workers can collect bacteria from a patient lead a healthy life to a seemingly "benign" or commensal strain of S. aureus, and then move on to another patient. The introduction of bacteria in the blood can lead to complications diverse, including endocarditis, meningitis and sepsis.

8.1 Protection of nosocomial MRSA infections (CA-H)

1. Hospital staff should wash their hands or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer before handling patients.
2. Patients should also wash their hands frequently.
3. Tubes and intravenous catheters should be inserted under sterile conditions.

An important and yet a recognized means of settlement and CA-MRSA transmission is through sexual contact. Some people usually share razor blades or chasers as a person unknowingly may carry the bacteria that causes staph infection, using another person's comb, brush, a towel or razor shaving can increase the risk of infection

8.2 Protection of acquired MRSA Community (CA-MRSA):

1. Wash your hands. Always wash the best defense against germs.

2. Put your belongings personal. Avoid sharing personal items like towels, sheets, razors, clothing and sports equipment. MRSA is transmitted in the objects contaminated, and by direct contact.

3. Keep wounds covered. Keep cuts and scrapes clean and covered with dry dressings sterile until healed. Pus infected wounds can contain MRSA, and keeping wounds covered will help keep bacteria from spreading.

4. Shower after sports games or practices. shower immediately after each game or practice. Use soap and water. Do not share towels.

5. Sit sports games or practices if you have an infection on -. If a person has an injury that seems to drain or infected, for example, the color red, swollen, hot to the touch or tender – consider sitting at athletic games or practices until the wound is healed.

6. Sanitize linens. If a person has a cut or wound bed linen and towels in a washing machine set on "hot" water with chlorine added adjustment

7. Let tests. If a person has a skin infection that requires treatment, so doctors can prescribe drugs that are not effective against antibiotic-resistant staph, which delays treatment and creates more resistant germs. Testing specifically for MRSA may get the required specific antibiotic to effectively treat the infection.

8. Use antibiotics appropriately. When prescribed an antibiotic, take all doses, although the infection is better. Not stop until your doctor recommends. Do not share antibiotics with others or save unfinished antibiotics for another occasion. The inappropriate use of antibiotics, including not having all the prescription and overuse, contributes to resistance.
