Clinical and prognostic differences between methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis

Abstract: Background: S. aureus (SA) infective endocarditis (IE) has a very high mortality, attributed to the age and comorbidities of patients, inadequate or delayed antibiotic treatment, and methicillin resistance, among other causes. The main study objective was to analyze epidemiological and clinical differences between IE by methicillinresistant versus methicillin-susceptible SA (MRSA vs. MSSA) and to examine prognostic factors for SA endocarditis, including methicillin resistance and vancomycin minimum inhibitory … Show more

“…During the study, the prognosis for patients improved substantially ( Figure 4a ), consistent with previous findings for SAB ( 24 ), S. aureus IE ( 25 ), and sepsis cohorts ( 26 28 ). There are probably several explanations for this.…”

“…La EI representa un conjunto de enfermedades en cuyo pronóstico pueden ser determinantes las resistencias a los antimicrobianos [ 17 ]. S. aureus es uno de los agentes causales más comunes y agresivos pero la mayoría de trabajos que han estudiado las resistencias en este microorganismo se refieren a bacteriemias en general, siendo pocos los que contemplan este aspecto en el caso concreto de la endocarditis [ 2 ].…”

“…Los pacientes con endocarditis por SARM y con CMI a vancomicina ≥1 mg/L eran de mayor edad, con mayor comorbilidad y tienen con más frecuencia infecciones relacionadas con la asistencia sanitaria. Estos resultados son esperables dada la evolución que ha sufrido la endocarditis en las últimas décadas [ 19 ] y concordantes con un reciente trabajo multicéntrico andaluz [ 2 ].…”
