Souhrn

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is an important clinical concern in patients, and is often associated with significant disease burden and metastatic infections. There is an increasing evidence of heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (hVISA) associated treatment failure. In this study, we aim to understand the molecular mechanism of teicoplanin resistant MRSA (TR-MRSA) and hVISA. A total of 482 MRSA isolates were investigated for these phenotypes. Of the tested isolates, 1% were identified as TR-MRSA, and 12% identified as hVISA. A highly diverse amino acid substitution was observed in tcaRAB, vraSR, and graSR genes in TR-MRSA and hVISA strains. Interestingly, 65% of hVISA strains had a D148Q mutation in the graR gene. However, none of the markers were reliable in differentiating hVISA from TR-MRSA. Significant pbp2 upregulation was noted in three TR-MRSA strains, which had teicoplanin MICs of 16 or 32 μg/ml, whilst significant pbp4 downregulation was not noted in these strains. In our study, multiple mutations were identified in the candidate genes, suggesting a complex evolutionary pathway involved in the development of TR-MRSA and hVISA strains.
