  3. MRSA guideline in the UK (2008) Published at JAC in Mar 2009

  4. Use of Glycopeptides • “Vancomycin treatment failures occur with strains apparently susceptible in vitro.” • “Infections with susceptible strains having MIC ≥ 1 mg are said to be more likely to fail on vancomycin therapy than those with susceptible strains having MICs <1 mg/L.”

  5. Use of Glycopeptides • “There is evidence that even high-dose vancomycin treatment does not improve the prognosis in renal patients, which may suggest that poor outcome is related to other biological factors.” • “This might suggest that other treatment should be used for MRSA infections where the vancomycin MICs for the infecting strains are between 1-4 mg/L and therefore vancomycin MICs should always be measured for MRSA treated with this drug”

  6. Recommendation for MRSA RTI • Recommendation 12: • “The treatment of infections in patients with bronchiectasis or chronic suppurative lung disease without pneumonia, where MRSA is deemed significant, is unresolved.” • “Linezolid may be used as it offers better lung tissue penetration [category 1C]

  7. Recommendation for MRSA RTI • “…PVL-positive strains of MRSA can cause severe necrotizing pneumonia in the community. In these circumstances, there is some in vitro evidence that staphylococcal toxin production can be suppressed by either clindamycin or linezolid” • “For community-onset and –acquired MRSA, we recommend that either linezolid, or if erythromycin-susceptible, clindamycin, should be included in therapy”

  8. Recommendation for MRSA RTI • Recommendation 13: • “Glycopeptides or linezolid for pneumonia infections where MRSA is the aetiological agent. [category IA]”

  9. Recommendation for MRSA Bacteraemia & Endocarditis • Recommendation 11: • “A minimum duration of 14 days of treatment with glycopeptides or linezolid fr uncomplicated bacteraemia” • “Longer treatment will be required in patients with, or at higher risk of, endocarditis, and transoesophageal echocardiographic assessment is important”

  10. Recommendation for MRSA Bacteremia & Endocarditis • Recommendation 11 • “The manufacturer’s recommendation of a 4 week limit on linezolid treatment and adverse effects may limit use of this agent” • “Daptomycin could be considered as an alternative to glycopeptides [category II]”

  11. Recommendation for MRSA SSTI • Impetigo and boils • Recommendation 3: • “Impetigo caused by MRSA should be treated with topical mupirocin or fusidic acid, where the isolate is susceptible [category II]” • “There is evidence for small boils that antibiotics are unnecessary and that drainage of lesions <5 cm diameter is adequate” • Recommendation 4 • “Antibiotic therapy is not generally required after incision and drainage of small abscesses without surrounding cellulitis.”

  12. Recommendation for MRSA SSTI • Cellulitis/ surgical site infections • Rec # 5 – non-hospitalized patients: • “Depending on susceptibility tests, doxycycline or clindamycin is recommendation unless the infections are considered severe and/ or carry a high risk of bacteremia or endocarditis [category 1B]” • “With strains of MRSA resistant to doxycycline or clindamycin, glycopeptides or linezolid should be used. Co-trimoxazole could be considered, bearing in mind the hazards of sulphonamide allergy” • “Outpatient parenteral therapy with glycopeptide or daptomycin offers a cost-effective option in moderately severe infections where continuous IV therapy is deemed necessary [category 1V]”

  13. Recommendation for MRSA SSTI • Cellulitis/ surgical site infections • Rec # 5 – non-hospitalized patients: • “The possible superiority of linezolid in patients with proven complicated MRSA infection and in SSTIs, along with its availability as an oral agent with a high bioavailability, may also facilitate early hospital discharge and provides another cost effective alternative where appropriate.” • “For suspected infections due to S.aureus or MRSA producing PVL, either linezolid or clindamycin should be considered since both have been shown to modify the expression of PVL in vitro.”

  14. Recommendation for MRSA SSTI • Cellulitis/ surgical site infections • Rec # 6 –hospitalized patients: • “Glycopeptides, linezolid or daptomycin should be considered for use in hospitalized patients with severe SSTIs and/or where the risk of bacteraemia is high. [category 1B]” • “Linezolid may provide marginally greater effectiveness compared with glycopeptides in this patient population [category 1B] • “If the infection is deemed polymicrobial and where MRSA is considered to be an important pathogen, monotherapy with tigecycline may be considered an alternative [category 1B]”

  15. Recommendation for MRSA SSTI • Cellulitis/ surgical site infections • Rec # 6 –hospitalized patients: • “For clinical treatment failure with glycopeptide monotherapy, we are unable to make a clear recommendation between adding a second antistaphylococcal agent to the glycopeptide, and switching to monotherapy with linezolid or daptomycin.” • “A meta-analysis has suggested that linezolid may be superior to glycopeptides for Gram-positive infections in SSTIs and bacteraemia.”

  16. Recommendation for MRSA bone and joint infections • Rec#10 • “The treatment of MRSA bone and joint infection should be based on a multidisciplinary approach.” • “Our previous recommendation to use parenteral glycopeptides with or without adjunctive agents such as rifampicin or sodium fusidate as initial parenteral therapy still stands.” • “The Working Party considers that oral linezolid has a place in the follow-on treatment of bone and joint infections with MRSA after appropriate surgery, although this is not a licensed indication for the drug, but with weekly monitory of full blood count and platelets for signs of bone marrow suppression.”

  17. Recommendation for MRSA UTIs • Rec#9 • “For simple UTIs, an oral agent (nitrofurantoin, trimethoprim, co-trimoxazole or tetracycline) should be considered according to in vitro susceptibility [category II]” • “For complicated UTIs, glycopeptides or daptomycin should be considered. [category II]”

  18. Recommendation for MRSA eye and CNS infections • Rec#14 • “There is insufficient evidence to make a specific recommendation in deep eye and CNS infection.” • “Gentamicin, sodium fusidate or chloramphenicol may be used for superficial eye infections if the strain is susceptible [category 1B]” • “Limited published data suggest that linezolid may be considered for the treatment of patients with meningeal or cerebral infections” • “Animal data suggest that daptomycin may have some advantages over vancomycin owing to its superior bactericidal activity.”
