Risk Factors for Recurrent Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To understand the clinical, bacterial, and host characteristics associated with recurrent Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (R-SAB), patients with R-SAB were compared to contemporaneous patients with a single episode of SAB (S-SAB).

Methods

All SAB isolates underwent spa genotyping. All isolates from R-SAB patients underwent pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). PFGE-indistinguishable pairs from 40 patients underwent whole genome sequencing (WGS). Acute phase plasma from R-SAB and S-SAB patients was matched 1:1 for age, race, sex, and bacterial genotype, and underwent cytokine quantification using 25-analyte multiplex bead array.

Results

R-SAB occurred in 69 (9.1%) of the 756 study patients. Of the 69 patients, 30 experienced relapse (43.5%) and 39 reinfection (56.5%). Age, race, hemodialysis dependence, presence of foreign body, methicillin-resistant Staphyloccus aureus, and persistent bacteremia were individually associated with likelihood of recurrence. Multivariate risk modeling revealed that black hemodialysis patients were nearly 2 times more likely (odds ratio [OR] = 9.652 [95% confidence interval [CI], 5.402-17.418]) than white hemodialysis patients (OR = 4.53 [95% CI, 1.696-10.879]) to experience R-SAB. WGS confirmed PFGE interpretations in all cases. Median RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted) levels in acute phase plasma from the initial episode of SAB were higher in R-SAB than in matched S-SAB controls (P = .0053, false discovery rate < 0.10).

Conclusion

This study identified several risk factors for R-SAB. The largest risk for R-SAB is among black hemodialysis patients. Higher RANTES levels in R-SAB compared to matched controls warrants further study.

Project description:ObjectiveTo identify risk factors and outcomes associated with thrombocytopenia at sepsis onset in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.Patients and methodsThis single-center, retrospective, cohort study consists of all adult patients with a first episode of clinical S aureus bacteremia between April 1, 1988, and September 30, 1994, and between January 1, 1999, and December 31, 2007. Thrombocytopenia was defined as a platelet count less than 150 × 10(9)/L. The primary outcome was 30-day all-cause mortality. Risk factors for 30-day all-cause mortality were identified using univariate and multivariable analyses. Multivariable analysis was conducted using forward step logistic regression analysis. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for risk of death.ResultsA total of 1052 patients had clinical S aureus bacteremia. Thrombocytopenia at sepsis onset was present in 235 patients (22.3%). Thrombocytopenia was associated with community-acquired bacteremia, infections caused by methicillin-sensitive S aureus, high-magnitude bacteremia (defined as >4 positive blood cultures [≥ 3 separate positive blood culture sets]), and endocarditis. Patients with thrombocytopenia presented more commonly with severe sepsis reflected by septic shock and acute renal failure. Thirty-day mortality was significantly higher among patients with thrombocytopenia (132/235 [56.2%]) vs those without thrombocytopenia (281/817 [34.4%]; P<.001). Higher mortality was associated with the degree of thrombocytopenia. In multivariable analysis, thrombocytopenia at baseline remained an independent risk factor for 30-day mortality (OR, 2.82; 95% CI, 1.87-4.24). The adjusted association between thrombocytopenia and death remained similar among the 917 patients with monomicrobial bacteremia (OR, 2.88; 95% CI, 1.83-4.53) and the 945 patients who did not die within the first 48 hours (OR, 2.88; 95% CI, 1.87-4.45.).ConclusionWe observed a strong association between thrombocytopenia at sepsis onset and all-cause mortality in S aureus bacteremia, possibly related to mechanisms other than sepsis alone.
