Increased Endovascular Staphylococcus aureus Inoculum Is the Link Between Elevated Serum Interleukin 10 Concentrations and Mortality in Patients With Bacteremia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cell wall peptidoglycan stimulates interleukin 10 (IL-10) production in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SaB) animal models, but clinical data are not available. This study evaluates the impact of intravascular bacterial cell numbers (ie, the level of bacteremia), in patients at the time of clinical presentation on IL-10 production and its association with S. aureus bacteremia (SaB) mortality.

Methods

Blood and isolates were collected in 133 consecutive SaB patients. Serum IL-10 was quantified by an electrochemoluminescence assay. Bacterial inoculum was measured in patient sera with elevated (n = 8) or low (n = 8) IL-10 using a magnetic bacterial capture assay. Staphylococcus aureus from these 2 groups were introduced into whole blood ex vivo to determine IL-10 production with variable inocula.

Results

IL-10 serum concentration was higher in SaB patient mortality (n = 27) vs survival (n = 106) (median, 36.0 pg/mL vs 10.4 pg/mL, respectively, P < .001). Patients with elevated IL-10 more often had endovascular SaB sources. The inoculum level of SaB was higher in patients with elevated serum IL-10 vs patients with low IL-10 (35.5 vs 0.5 median CFU/mL; P = .044). Ex vivo studies showed that 108 CFU/mL yielded greater IL-10 than did 103 CFU/mL (4.4 ± 1.8 vs 1.0 ± 0.6 pg/mL; P < .01).

Conclusions

Elevated IL-10 serum concentrations at clinical presentation of SaB were highly associated with mortality. High intravascular peptidoglycan concentration, driven by a higher level of bacteremia, is a key mediator of IL-10 anti-inflammatory response that portends poor clinical outcome. Using IL-10 as an initial biomarker, clinicians may consider more aggressive antimicrobials for rapid bacterial load reduction in high-risk SaB patients.

Project description:Several management strategies may improve outcomes in patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.To review evidence of management strategies for S. aureus bacteremia to determine whether transesophageal echocardiography is necessary in all adult cases and what is the optimal antibiotic therapy for methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) bacteremia.A PubMed search from inception through May 2014 was performed to identify studies addressing the role of transesophageal echocardiography in S. aureus bacteremia. A second search of PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library from January 1990 through May 2014 was performed to find studies addressing antibiotic treatment for MRSA bacteremia. Studies reporting outcomes from antibiotic therapy for MRSA bacteremia were included. All searches, which were limited to English and focused on adults, were augmented by review of bibliographic references from included studies. The quality of evidence was assessed using the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation system with consensus of independent evaluations by at least 2 of the authors.In 9 studies with a total of 4050 patients, use of transesophageal echocardiography was associated with higher rates of a diagnosis of endocarditis (14%-28%) compared with transthoracic echocardiography (2%-15%). In 4 studies, clinical or transthoracic echocardiography findings did not predict subsequent transesophageal echocardiography findings of endocarditis. Five studies identified clinical or transthoracic echocardiography characteristics associated with low risk of endocarditis (negative predictive values from 93% to 100%). Characteristics associated with a low risk of endocarditis include absence of a permanent intracardiac device, sterile follow-up blood cultures within 4 days after the initial set, no hemodialysis dependence, nosocomial acquisition of S. aureus bacteremia, absence of secondary foci of infection, and no clinical signs of infective endocarditis. Of 81 studies of antibiotic therapy for MRSA bacteremia, only 1 high-quality trial was identified. In that study of 246 patients with S. aureus bacteremia, daptomycin was not inferior to vancomycin or an antistaphylococcal penicillin, each in combination with low-dose, short-course gentamicin (clinical success rate, 44.2% [53/120] vs 41.7% [48/115]; absolute difference, 2.4% [95% CI, -10.2% to 15.1%]).All adult patients with S. aureus bacteremia should undergo echocardiography. Characteristics of low-risk patients with S. aureus bacteremia for whom transesophageal echocardiography can be safely avoided have been identified. Vancomycin and daptomycin are the first-line antibiotic choices for MRSA bacteremia. Well-designed studies to address the management of S. aureus bacteremia are needed.
