Speciation of coagulase-negative staphylococci: A cohort study on clinical relevance and outcomes
Introduction
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are common causes of bloodstream infections (BSI), but species-specific epidemiology is under-researched. This study aimed to examine the occurrence, clinical features, and outcomes of CoNS BSI in a large Australian population.
Methods
All incidents of CoNS BSI in the Queensland Health system (2000–2019) were included.
Results
Among 4046 CoNS BSI cases, 3353 were monomicrobial, with S. epidermidis (n = 1665), S. haemolyticus (n = 224), S. hominis (n = 220), S. capitis (n = 185), S. lugdunensis (n = 57), S. warneri (n = 47), and other species (n = 38). In 27% of cases, CoNS isolates were not assigned to species. Significant differences in age, onset classification, co-morbidities, and flucloxacillin resistance were observed across species. S. epidermidis, S. haemolyticus. S. capitis were predominantly hospital-onset, while S. lugdunensis was community-associated. The cohort had Charlson scores indicating high co-morbidity, with malignancy common among S. haemolyticus patients. Most speciated isolates of CoNS demonstrated resistance to flucloxacillin (2224/2827; 79%). The 30-day mortality rate was higher for polymicrobial (14%) vs. monomicrobial BSI (11%), p = 0.024. Mortality varied by species and was highest for S. lugdunensis (22%).
Conclusions
These findings underscore the value of species-level identification in managing CoNS BSIs, particularly in cases with clinical signs and symptoms, to support antimicrobial stewardship.
期刊介绍:
The journal aims to be a platform for the publication and dissemination of knowledge in the area of infection and disease causing infection in humans. The journal is quarterly and publishes research, reviews, concise communications, commentary and other articles concerned with infection and disease affecting the health of an individual, organisation or population. The original and important articles in the journal investigate, report or discuss infection prevention and control; clinical, social, epidemiological or public health aspects of infectious disease; policy and planning for the control of infections; zoonoses; and vaccination related to disease in human health. Infection, Disease & Health provides a platform for the publication and dissemination of original knowledge at the nexus of the areas infection, Disease and health in a One Health context. One Health recognizes that the health of people is connected to the health of animals and the environment. One Health encourages and advances the collaborative efforts of multiple disciplines-working locally, nationally, and globally-to achieve the best health for people, animals, and our environment. This approach is fundamental because 6 out of every 10 infectious diseases in humans are zoonotic, or spread from animals. We would be expected to report or discuss infection prevention and control; clinical, social, epidemiological or public health aspects of infectious disease; policy and planning for the control of infections; zoonosis; and vaccination related to disease in human health. The Journal seeks to bring together knowledge from all specialties involved in infection research and clinical practice, and present the best work in this ever-changing field. The audience of the journal includes researchers, clinicians, health workers and public policy professionals concerned with infection, disease and health.
