Abstract

Rationale: The mucoid phenotype of Staphylococcus aureus is caused by adaptation. Excessive biofilm formation associated with a protective effect for mucoid S. aureus was observed in isolates from respiratory samples of people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). However, there is little knowledge about the prevalence of mucoid S. aureus in pwCF and a potential association with CF lung disease.

Methods: A prospective multicenter study was conducted (cross-sectional and longitudinal). Specimens and case report forms were sent to the central study laboratory for characterization of S. aureus and analysis of clinical parameters.

Measurements and main results: Cross-sectional study: In 41 of 451 S. aureus-positive pwCF (9.1%) from 13 CF-centers, mucoid S. aureus was cultured. Longitudinal study: The distribution of CFTR genotypes, the number of pwCF with highly effective modulator therapy and co-infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa were equivalent in the mucoid (35 pwCF) versus the control group (only non-mucoid S. aureus, 36 pwCF). While lung function did not differ between groups as a whole, a subgroup analysis revealed significantly worse lung function for female pwCF with mucoid S. aureus as well as for pwCF if P. aeruginosa co-infection was excluded.

Conclusions: In the era of highly effective modulator therapy, worse lung function was associated with female and P. aeruginosa-negative pwCF with mucoid S. aureus compared to pwCF with only non-mucoid S. aureus. Therefore, appropriate culture conditions should be established to detect mucoid S. aureus. Further investigations are needed to elucidate the relationship between mucoid S. aureus and CF lung disease.

期刊介绍： The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine focuses on human biology and disease, as well as animal studies that contribute to the understanding of pathophysiology and treatment of diseases that affect the respiratory system and critically ill patients. Papers that are solely or predominantly based in cell and molecular biology are published in the companion journal, the American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology. The Journal also seeks to publish clinical trials and outstanding review articles on areas of interest in several forms. The State-of-the-Art review is a treatise usually covering a broad field that brings bench research to the bedside. Shorter reviews are published as Critical Care Perspectives or Pulmonary Perspectives. These are generally focused on a more limited area and advance a concerted opinion about care for a specific process. Concise Clinical Reviews provide an evidence-based synthesis of the literature pertaining to topics of fundamental importance to the practice of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. Images providing advances or unusual contributions to the field are published as Images in Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep Medicine and the Sciences. A recent trend and future direction of the Journal has been to include debates of a topical nature on issues of importance in pulmonary and critical care medicine and to the membership of the American Thoracic Society. Other recent changes have included encompassing works from the field of critical care medicine and the extension of the editorial governing of journal policy to colleagues outside of the United States of America. The focus and direction of the Journal is to establish an international forum for state-of-the-art respiratory and critical care medicine.
