Project description:LA-MRSA CC398 outbreak in a Danish hospital

Project description:Neutrophil lysis after phagocytosis is a process potentially important in the pathogenesis of community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) infection. The mechanism for this process is not currently known. Therefore, to better understand CA-MRSA virulence we used human oligonucleotide microarrays to investigate the mechanism underlying enhanced PMN lysis that occurs after phagocytosis of CA-MRSA. In order to examine the effect of S. aureus on the neutrophil transcriptome and to elucidate any possible differences in this effect between hospital- and community-associated S. aureus, we performed microarray expression analysis on human neutrophils treated with hospital- and community-associated S. aureus.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Infections with community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) are emerging worldwide. We investigated an outbreak of severe CA-MRSA infections in children following out-patient vaccination. METHODS AND FINDINGS: We carried out a field investigation after adverse events following immunization (AEFI) were reported. We reviewed the clinical data from all cases. S. aureus recovered from skin infections and from nasal and throat swabs were analyzed by pulse-field gel electrophoresis, multi locus sequence typing, PCR and microarray. In May 2006, nine children presented with AEFI, ranging from fatal toxic shock syndrome, necrotizing soft tissue infection, purulent abscesses, to fever with rash. All had received a vaccination injection in different health centres in one District of Ho Chi Minh City. Eight children had been vaccinated by the same health care worker (HCW). Deficiencies in vaccine quality, storage practices, or preparation and delivery were not found. Infection control practices were insufficient. CA-MRSA was cultured in four children and from nasal and throat swabs from the HCW. Strains from children and HCW were indistinguishable. All carried the Panton-Valentine leukocidine (PVL), the staphylococcal enterotoxin B gene, the gene complex for staphylococcal-cassette-chromosome mec type V, and were sequence type 59. Strain HCM3A is epidemiologically unrelated to a strain of ST59 prevalent in the USA, although they belong to the same lineage. CONCLUSIONS: We describe an outbreak of infections with CA-MRSA in children, transmitted by an asymptomatic colonized HCW during immunization injection. Consistent adherence to injection practice guidelines is needed to prevent CA-MRSA transmission in both in- and outpatient settings. Data is also available from http://bugs.sgul.ac.uk/E-BUGS-45

Project description:Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the causative agent of serious hospital- and community-associated infections. Due to the global rise in community-associated MRSA, the respective lineages are increasingly introduced into hospitals. This raises the question whether and, if so, how they adapt to this new environment. The present study was aimed at investigating how MRSA isolates of the USA300 lineage, infamous for causing infections in the general population, have adapted to the hospital environment. To this end, a collection of community- and hospital-associated USA300 isolates was compared by RNA-sequencing. Here we report that merely 460 genes were differentially expressed between these two epidemiologically distinct groups, including genes for virulence factors, oxidative stress responses and the purine, pyrimidine and fatty acid biosynthetic pathways. Differentially regulated virulence factors included leukotoxins and phenol-soluble modulins, implicated in staphylococcal escape from immune cells. We therefore investigated the ability of the studied isolates to survive internalization by human neutrophils. This showed that the community-associated isolates have the highest neutrophil-killing activity, while the hospital-associated isolates are better adapted to intra-neutrophil survival. Importantly, the latter trait protects internalized staphylococci against a challenge with antibiotics. We therefore conclude that prolonged intra-neutrophil survival serves as a relatively simple early adaptation of S. aureus USA300 to the hospital environment where antibiotic pressure is high.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus can cause a broad spectrum of diseases that vary widely in clinical presentation and disease severity[121]. Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains first described in the 1960’s[122] were hospital acquired (HA MRSA), however in the 1990’s, community-associated MRSA strains (CA MRSA) were identified and are considered to be more virulent[16]. Therapeutics and management of MRSA focuses on novel antibacterials and vaccines targeting virulence factors. To date no clinical trials for vaccines have succeeded[123] due to the poor understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms exhibited by S.aureus.We investigated the differential gene expression of four clinical MRSA strains in vitro, belonging to HA and CA MRSA, at the stationary and exponential growth phases, using RNA-seq on the Ion torrent next generation sequencing platform. This study reveals the high diversity of virulence trait expression among MRSA strains within strains as well as between different growth phases, and also suggests potential factors other than PVL that contributes to enhanced virulence in CA MRSA

Project description:Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major hospital- and community-acquired pathogen, but the mechanisms underlying host-defense to MRSA remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of IL-21 in this process. When administered intra-tracheally into wild-type mice, IL-21 induced granzymes and augmented clearance of pulmonary MRSA but not when neutrophils were depleted or a granzyme B inhibitor was added. Correspondingly, IL-21 induced MRSA killing by human peripheral blood neutrophils. Unexpectedly, however, basal MRSA clearance was enhanced when IL-21 signaling was blocked, both in Il21r KO mice and in wild-type mice injected with IL-21R-Fc fusion-protein. This correlated with increased type I interferon and an IFN-related gene signature, and indeed anti-IFNAR1 treatment diminished MRSA clearance in these animals. Moreover, we found that IFNβ induced granzyme B and promoted MRSA clearance in a granzyme B-dependent fashion. These results reveal an interplay between IL-21 and type-I IFN in the innate immune response to MRSA.

Project description:Studies on S. aureus sub-populations revealed that genomes are well conserved between isolates from the same lineages despite geographic, temporal and selective diversity. However, variation of hundreds of genes can occur between isolates from different lineages and these genes could be involved in interaction with host components. In this study, we aimed to investigate the diversity of secreted virulence factors in human and zoonotic S. aureus isolates from different clonal complexes. We focused on the S. aureus clonal complexes (CC) 8 and CC22 as dominant human lineages, and CC398 as dominant livestock-associated MRSA (LA-MRSA) which is disseminating rapidly. To study the diversity of secreted virulence factors, we compared their extracellular proteomes using label-free LC-MS/MS analysis. A common protein database was created based on DNA sequencing data and PAN genome IDs.
