Summary: | Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogen that causes food
poisoning as well as hospital and community acquired infections.
Objective: Establish the profile of superantigen genes among hospital
isolates in relation to clinical specimen type, susceptibility to
antibiotics and hospital or community acquisition. Methods: Eighty one
isolates obtained from patients at Colombian hospital, were classified
by antimicrobial susceptibility, specimen type and hospital or
community acquired . The PCR uniplex and multiplex was used for
detection of 22 superantigen genes (18 enterotoxins, tsst-1 and three
exfoliative toxins). Results: Ninety five point one percent of isolates
harbored one or more of the genes with an average of 5.6 genes.
Prevalence of individual genes was variable and the most prevalent was
seg (51.9%). Thirty nine genotypes were obtained, and the genotype
gimnou (complete egc cluster) was the most prevalent alone (16.0%) and
in association with other genes (13.6%). The correlation between
presence of superantigens and clinical specimen or antimicrobial
susceptibility showed no significant difference. But there was
significant difference between presence of superantigens and the origin
of the isolates, hospital or community acquired (p= 0.049).
Conclusions: The results show the variability of the superantigen genes
profile in hospital isolates and shows no conclusive relationship with
the clinical sample type and antimicrobial susceptibility, but there
was correlation with community and hospital isolates. The analysis of
the interplay between virulence, epidemic and antibiotic resistance of
bacterial populations is needed to predict the future of infectious
diseases.
Introducción: Staphylococcus aureus , es un patógeno que
causa intoxicación alimentaria e infecciones hospitalarias y
comunitarias. Objetivo: Establecer el perfil de genes de
superantígenos en aislamientos hospitalarios
correlacionándolos con el tipo de muestra clínica,
susceptibilidad antimicrobiana y origen hospitalario o comunitario.
Métodos: Se analizaron 81 aislamientos de S. aureus de pacientes
de un hospital colombiano. Fueron clasificadas por susceptibilidad
antimicrobiana, tipo de muestra clínica y origen hospitalario o
comunitario. Se detectó por PCR individual y múltiple 22
genes de superantígenos (18 enterotoxinas, una toxina del choque
tóxico-1 y tres toxinas exfoliativas). Resultados: El 95.1%
albergaban uno o más genes de superantígenos con un promedio
de 5.6 genes. La prevalencia individual fue variable y el gen con mayor
prevalencia fue seg (51.9%). Se obtuvieron 39 genotipos, y el genotipo
gimnou (cluster egc completo) fue el de mayor frecuencia (16.0%) y
asociado con otros genes (13.6%). La correlación de
superantígenos frente a tipo de muestra clínica y
susceptibilidad antimicrobiana no mostró diferencia
estadística significativa, pero hubo diferencia significativa con
el tipo de aislamiento hospitalario o comunitario (p= 0.049).
Conclusiones: Los resultados muestran la diversidad genética en
los aislados hospitalarios respecto a la presencia de
superantígenos y no muestra una relación concluyente con el
tipo de muestra clínica y susceptibilidad antimicrobiana pero
sí con origen de los aislamientos comunitarios y hospitalarios. Un
análisis de la interrelación entre la virulencia,
epidemicidad y resistencia antimicrobiana de las poblaciones
bacterianas es necesario para predecir el futuro de las enfermedades
infecciosas. |
