In vitro trends of cefazolin and ceftriaxone susceptibilities from pediatric clinical isolates of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) between 2011 and 2016 were analyzed for surveillance.
Our laboratory continues to use agar disk diffusion for staphylococcal susceptibilities applying Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute's 2012 breakpoints.
A total of 3992 MSSA clinical isolates in the last 6 years were analyzed for their in vitro cefazolin and ceftriaxone susceptibilities. While all MSSA isolates exhibited cefazolin susceptibilities within the "susceptible" zone range, there have been a proportion of isolates with ceftriaxone susceptibilities falling in "intermediate" zones, ranging from 2.6% in 2011 to 8.3% in 2016.
Cefazolin continues to be the recommended agent for MSSA treatment at our institution, reflected by the finding that only 2% (6/321) of patients who received ceftriaxone as definitive therapy for MSSA bacteremia during the study period. We have confirmed the cefoxitin-predicted MSSA susceptibility to cefazolin, but have found concerning drifts in ceftriaxone susceptibilities by continued in vitro monitoring over the last 6 years.
分析 2011 年至 2016 年间耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MSSA)儿童临床分离株中头孢唑林和头孢曲松敏感性的体外趋势,以进行监测。
我们的实验室继续使用琼脂扩散法进行葡萄球菌药敏试验,采用临床实验室标准化研究所 2012 年的折点。
在过去 6 年中,共分析了 3992 株 MSSA 临床分离株,以评估其体外头孢唑林和头孢曲松敏感性。虽然所有 MSSA 分离株均表现出头孢唑林敏感性在“敏感”范围内,但有一定比例的分离株头孢曲松敏感性落在“中介”范围内,范围从 2011 年的 2.6%到 2016 年的 8.3%。
头孢唑林仍然是我们机构治疗 MSSA 的推荐药物,这反映在研究期间只有 2%(6/321)接受头孢曲松作为 MSSA 菌血症确定性治疗的患者。我们已经证实了头孢西丁预测的 MSSA 对头孢唑林的敏感性,但通过过去 6 年的持续体外监测,发现头孢曲松敏感性存在漂移。
