Immune biomarkers can stratify mortality risk in staphylococcal bacteremia. Microbial biomarkers may provide more consistent signals during early infection. We demonstrate that in ST45/USA600 bacteremia, bacterial membrane vesicle production in vitro predicts clinical mortality (773 vs. 116 RFU, survivors vs. decedents, < 0.0001). Using a threshold of 301 relative fluorescence units (RFU), the sensitivity and specificity of the membrane vesicles to predict mortality are 78% and 90%, respectively. This platform is facile, scalable and can be integrated into clinical microbiology lab workflows.
免疫生物标志物可对葡萄球菌血症的死亡风险进行分层。微生物生物标志物在早期感染期间可能提供更一致的信号。我们证明,在ST45/USA600菌血症中,体外细菌膜泡产生可预测临床死亡率(幸存者与死亡者分别为773 vs. 116相对荧光单位,<0.0001)。使用301相对荧光单位(RFU)的阈值,膜泡预测死亡率的敏感性和特异性分别为78%和90%。该平台操作简便、可扩展,且可整合到临床微生物学实验室工作流程中。
