Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus is an important cause of infections and HIV-infected individuals are frequently susceptible to this pathogen. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review to identify both the risk factors associated with colonization/infection by methicillin-resistant S. aureus in HIV patients and the methods used for characterization of isolates. An electronic search of articles published between January 2001 and December 2013 was first conducted. Among 116 studies categorized as being at a … Show more

“…Previous studies from our hospital have also highlighted an increased MRSA prevalence among such patients [28, 29]. In terms of specific clonal colonisation, studies from the USA and Europe, for instance, indicate that pulsed-field gel electrophoresis type USA300, corresponding to MLST ST8, is the most frequently colonist among HIV-infected persons [30, 31]. In our study, the hospital-associated clone ST239 was six times more likely to be found in HIV patients.…”

“…The results of our analysis were higher than the 7% global MRSA nasal colonization in PLWHA ( Sabbagh et al., 2019 ), and also significantly higher than in healthy persons (0.2%-3.5%) ( Brasel and Weigelt, 2016 ). It is important to remark that previous systematic reviews on PLWHA by Ferreira et al (2014) and Sabbagh et al (2019) were on risk factors determinants and burden, respectively, of MRSA colonization and infection. Also, both dwelled on all types of samples (such as skin, faecal, aspirates, pus, etc.)…”

“…This is well reflected by the fact that oral candidiasis induced lesions are commonly observed during HIV infections and are significantly associated with a low CD4 T cell count [ 227 231 ]. Correspondingly, HIV patients are at an increased risk of developing S. aureus infections and BSIs which, besides T cell depletion, are also linked to reduced neutrophil counts (neutropenia) [ 232 235 ]. Neutropenia is frequently observed among HIV patients and is strongly associated with reduced CD4 T cell numbers and an increased viral load [ 236 ].…”
