Candida auris Sternal Osteomyelitis in a Man from Kenya Visiting Australia, 2015.

ABSTRACT: In Australia in 2015, Candida auris sternal osteomyelitis was diagnosed in a 65-year-old man with a history of intensive care treatment in Kenya in 2012 and without a history of cardiac surgery. The isolate was South Africa clade III. Clinicians should note that C. auris can cause low-grade disease years after colonization.

Incursions of Candida auris into Australia, 2018.

Project description:Candida auris is an emerging global healthcare-associated pathogen. During July-December 2018, four patients with C. auris were identified in Victoria, Australia, all with previous overseas hospitalization. Phylogenetic analysis revealed putative transmission between 2 patients and suspected overseas acquisition in the others. Vigilant screening of at-risk patients is required.

Incidence and risk factors for sternal osteomyelitis after median sternotomy.

Project description:BackgroundSternal osteomyelitis (OM) after median sternotomy is the rarest form of deep sternal wound infections (DSWIs). A retrospective study was implemented to evaluate the incidence and potential risk factors of sternal OM after median sternotomy.MethodsWe analyzed 3,410 consecutive patients who underwent cardiothoracic surgery via median sternotomy from January 2005 to December 2019 at our institution. A sternal OM and control group without any sign of wound infections after median sternotomy were selected. Comparisons of the variables between the two groups were performed using the Student's t-test and Fisher's exact tests. The association of potential risk factors with sternal OM was tested by logistic regression analysis.ResultsA total of 16 patients (0.47%) had sternal OM after median sternotomy. None of the variables were different between the sternal OM patients and the control group including body mass index (BMI), diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), left ventricle (LV) function, transfusion, operation time, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and intensive care unit and ventilator days. By univariate analysis, none of the variables were associated with an increased risk of sternal OM.ConclusionsThe incidence of sternal OM after median sternotomy in our institution was 0.47% and there was no correlation between the known risk factors of DSWI and sternal OM in our study.

Sternal Osteomyelitis Caused by Gordonia bronchialis after Open-Heart Surgery.

Project description:We report the case of a deep sternal wound infection with sternal osteomyelitis caused by Gordonia bronchialis after open-heart surgery. The isolate was identified as a G. bronchialis by 16S rRNA and hsp65 gene sequencing, having initially been misidentified as a Rhodococcus by a commercial phenotypic identification system.

Candida auris Bloodstream Infections in Russia.

Project description:Candida auris-a fungus (yeast) that can cause hospital outbreaks was first recognized in 2009. The authors report data on 38 cases of C. auris bloodstream infections in multidisciplinary hospitals situated in two distantly located regions of Russia, considering predisposing factors, antifungal susceptibility of isolates, treatment, and outcomes. Interhospital transfers of patients and labor migration contributed to the spread of C. auris. The South Asian lineage of the studied strains was indicated by K143R substitution in ERG11 gene and phylogenetic analysis of internal transcribed spacer and D1-D2 domain. All isolates from C. auris candidemia cases were susceptible to echinocandins. High-level resistance to fluconazole and resistance to amphotericin B were present in the majority of strains. The overall all-cause mortality rate in C. auris bloodstream infections was 55.3% and the 30-day all-cause mortality rate 39.5%. The attributable mortality was 0%. Eradication of C. auris from blood was associated with the favourable outcomes in patients. It was achieved irrespective of whether antifungal preparations within or outside the susceptibility range were administered. Further international surveillance and studies providing consensus guidelines for the management of C. auris infections are needed.

Finding Candida auris in public metagenomic repositories.

Project description:Candida auris is a newly emerged multidrug-resistant fungus capable of causing invasive infections with high mortality. Despite intense efforts to understand how this pathogen rapidly emerged and spread worldwide, its environmental reservoirs are poorly understood. Here, we present a collaborative effort between the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Center for Biotechnology Information, and GridRepublic (a volunteer computing platform) to identify C. auris sequences in publicly available metagenomic datasets. We developed the MetaNISH pipeline that uses SRPRISM to align sequences to a set of reference genomes and computes a score for each reference genome. We used MetaNISH to scan ~300,000 SRA metagenomic runs from 2010 onwards and identified five datasets containing C. auris reads. Finally, GridRepublic has implemented a prospective C. auris molecular monitoring system using MetaNISH and volunteer computing.

Genetic Evaluation of Nosocomial Candida auris Transmission.

Project description:Whole-genome sequences of Candida auris isolates from nosocomial and nonnosocomial infections were compared. The average numbers of single nucleotide variations were different between the two groups. The small amount of genetic variability between intra- or interhost isolates suggests recovery of all colonizing or infecting genomes for comparison is required for outbreaks.
