Résumé

Diabetic foot concerns are a major public health problem. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) plays a significant role in diabetic foot ulcers. Community-associated MRSA has become notorious for skin and skin soft tissue infections over the last two decades. This study investigated MRSA infection in diabetic foot patients at a tertiary hospital, focusing on the epidemiology and characteristics of community-associated MRSA. A total of 149 patients with diabetic foot infection whose culture results indicated Staphylococcus aureus as the source were selected. Epidemiological investigations, clinical characteristics, laboratory index records, antibiotic susceptibility analysis, and clinical outcome tracking were performed in all cases. Based on oxacillin resistance using the Vitek Compact 2 system, cases were divided into methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA groups. Subgroup analysis of the MRSA group was performed in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control definition: community-associated MRSA and hospital-associated MRSA. The MRSA group (n = 41, 27.5%) had a longer duration of ulcers and hospital stay and higher hospitalization costs than the methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus group (n = 108, 72.5%). According to the classification criteria of Infectious Diseases Society of America, the severity of infection in the community-associated MRSA group was higher than that in the hospital-associated MRSA group. The analysis of antimicrobial susceptibility of 41 MRSA isolates showed that the resistance rates to erythromycin, clindamycin, quinolone, gentamicin, tetracycline, and rifampicin were 78.0%, 68.3%, 31.7%, 17.1%, 9.8%, and 2.4%, respectively. All the MRSA strains were sensitive to linezolid, tigecycline, and vancomycin. The resistance rates to quinolones and gentamycin in the community-associated MRSA group (both 0%) were lower than those in the hospital-associated MRSA group. Emergence of MRSA in diabetic foot ulcer was associated with a prolonged wound duration and increased consumption of medical resources. Community-associated MRSA strains predominated among MRSA isolates from diabetic foot wounds and caused more severe infections.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Diabetic foot concerns are a major public health problem. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) plays a significant role in diabetic foot ulcers. Community-associated MRSA has become notorious for skin and skin soft tissue infections over the last two decades. This study investigated MRSA infection in diabetic foot patients at a tertiary hospital, focusing on the epidemiology and characteristics of community-associated MRSA.
METHODS METHODS
A total of 149 patients with diabetic foot infection whose culture results indicated Staphylococcus aureus as the source were selected. Epidemiological investigations, clinical characteristics, laboratory index records, antibiotic susceptibility analysis, and clinical outcome tracking were performed in all cases. Based on oxacillin resistance using the Vitek Compact 2 system, cases were divided into methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA groups. Subgroup analysis of the MRSA group was performed in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control definition: community-associated MRSA and hospital-associated MRSA.
RESULTS RESULTS
The MRSA group (n = 41, 27.5%) had a longer duration of ulcers and hospital stay and higher hospitalization costs than the methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus group (n = 108, 72.5%). According to the classification criteria of Infectious Diseases Society of America, the severity of infection in the community-associated MRSA group was higher than that in the hospital-associated MRSA group. The analysis of antimicrobial susceptibility of 41 MRSA isolates showed that the resistance rates to erythromycin, clindamycin, quinolone, gentamicin, tetracycline, and rifampicin were 78.0%, 68.3%, 31.7%, 17.1%, 9.8%, and 2.4%, respectively. All the MRSA strains were sensitive to linezolid, tigecycline, and vancomycin. The resistance rates to quinolones and gentamycin in the community-associated MRSA group (both 0%) were lower than those in the hospital-associated MRSA group.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Emergence of MRSA in diabetic foot ulcer was associated with a prolonged wound duration and increased consumption of medical resources. Community-associated MRSA strains predominated among MRSA isolates from diabetic foot wounds and caused more severe infections.
