Bacteremia caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) USA600 has been associated with increased patient mortality. We found that USA600 MRSA exhibited significantly increased resistance to human cathelicidin LL-37 killing and daptomycin MIC creep compared to non-USA600 MRSA. Virulent health care-associated MRSA strains may coevolve innate host defense peptide and antibiotic resistances.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)USA600引起的菌血症与患者死亡率增加有关。我们发现,与非USA600 MRSA相比,USA600 MRSA对人cathelicidin LL-37杀伤的抗性显著增加,对达托霉素的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)漂移也更明显。具有强毒力的医疗保健相关MRSA菌株可能会共同进化出针对宿主天然防御肽的抗性和抗生素抗性。
