Staphylococcal Enterotoxin P Predicts Bacteremia in Hospitalized Patients Colonized With Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract: In an analysis controlling for host factors, colonization with MRSA carrying sep increased the risk of MRSA bacteremia. Identification of risk-adjusted genetic determinants of virulence may help to improve prediction of invasive disease and suggest new targets for therapeutic intervention.

“…It is unknown if patients with HAHO-MRSA were colonized with the MRSA strain prior to their hospitalization, or if MRSA was acquired in the hospital. It has been reported that patients are more likely to develop infection if they are colonized (27), but it also has been shown that despite colonization, some strains may be less likely to cause invasive disease (28).…”

“…59 Beyond antibiotic resistance and the presence of specific virulence factors, clonal associations of organisms have been shown to be useful in predicting outcomes. 60 In conclusion, these results for S. aureus colonization show that the isolates likely came from a single strain, as determined by spa typing. The prevalence of S. aureus colonization was relatively consistent in both SA3Ag and placebo recipients throughout the 12-month study period.…”
