An Association of MRSA USA 300 with Mortality in MRSA Bacteremia By Russell Ryan Kempker

Introduction: Evidence suggests MRSA USA 300 strains may have increased virulence; however, there are no clinical studies evaluating outcomes of MRSA bacteremia based on MRSA strain.

Methods: Population based-surveillance for MRSA Bacteremia in 8-county Atlanta from 2005-2008. Cases, defined as MRSA isolated from blood, were classified as healthcare-associated with hospital-onset (HAHO), healthcare-associated with community-onset (HACO), or community-associated (CA) disease. An epidemiological analysis was performed on the entire cohort while a survival analysis was performed on a nested cohort consisting of all MRSA cases for which isolates were evaluated with pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). A cox proportional hazards model was used to determine the association of USA 300 genotype and other risk factors with mortality.

Results: A total of 4344 cases of MRSA bacteremia were identified; 2579 (59.4%) were HACO, 1144 (26.3%) HAHO; 601 (13.8%) CA, and 20 (0.5%) unclassified. Incidence rates of MRSA bacteremia showed a significant decrease over time from 33.9/100,000 in 2005 to 24.8/100,000 in 2008. Rates per 100,000 were highest in persons ≥ 65 years (133.0), blacks (45.2), males (33.7), and persons with AIDS (650.5). PFGE testing was performed on 1104 MRSA isolates. In multivariate analysis, USA 300 genotype was associated with increased in-hospital mortality (HR 1.63, 95% CI 1.19, 2.23). Increasing age, chronic liver disease, AIDS, pneumonia, bacteremia without an associated clinical syndrome, and septic shock were also risk factors for death. In a sub-analysis comparing MRSA bacteremia due to USA 300 vs. USA 100 strains, USA 300 was also associated with increased mortality (HR 1.79, 95% CI 1.24, 2.58).

Conclusions: MRSA bacteremia incidence declined over 4 years but remained high; the proportion with CA disease was significant and persons with HIV, > 65 years old, and blacks were disproportionately affected. Bacteremia due to USA 300 MRSA isolates was associated with increased case-fatality, suggesting that USA 300 strains may be more virulent.
