Temporal trends of skin and soft tissue infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Gabon.
Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the leading causes of mortality due to bacterial antimicrobial resistance. While S. aureus is common in skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) in Africa, data on MRSA rates are scarce and reports vary widely across the continent (5%-80%). In this study, we describe the proportion of MRSA causing SSTI in Lambaréné, Gabon, over an 11-year period.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 953 bacterial specimens collected from inpatients and outpatients with SSTI at the Albert Schweitzer Hospital, Lambaréné, Gabon, between 2009 and 2019. We determined temporal changes in the prevalence of MRSA and identified risk factors for SSTI with MRSA.
Results: 68% of all specimens with bacterial growth yielded S. aureus (n = 499/731), of which 7% (36/497) with antimicrobial susceptibility testing were identified as MRSA. Age above 18 years, admission to the surgical ward, and deep-seated infections were significantly associated with MRSA as the causative agent. After an initial decline from 7% in 2009, there was a marked increase in the proportion of MRSA among all S. aureus from SSTI from 3 to 20% between 2012 and 2019. The resistance rate to erythromycin was significantly higher in MRSA than in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (73% vs. 10%), and clindamycin resistance was detected exclusively in MRSA isolates (8%).
Conclusion: The increasing proportion of MRSA causing SSTI over the 11-year period contrasts with many European countries where MRSA is on decline. Continuous surveillance of MRSA lineages in the hospital and community along with antibiotic stewardship programs could address the increasing trend of MRSA.
期刊介绍:
Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control is a global forum for all those working on the prevention, diagnostic and treatment of health-care associated infections and antimicrobial resistance development in all health-care settings. The journal covers a broad spectrum of preeminent practices and best available data to the top interventional and translational research, and innovative developments in the field of infection control.
