A 69 yeаr оld mаle presented tо the emergency depаrtment (ED) with fever, altered mental status, and hiccups. Past medical histоry: Seizures. Brain cyst removed 2010. Brain shunt placed 2011. History of kidney stones and recurrent urinary tract infections. Empiric treatment started - vancomycin, cefepime, and metronidazole. What does vancomycin target? [color1] What is metronidazole commonly used for? [color2] Patient’s condition continued to decline. Cefepime was changed to ceftriaxone for possible pneumonia; patient continued on vancomycin. Blood cultures were drawn. Disk diffusion (DD) and Broth Microdilution (BMD) minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests are used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. BMD is done in a 96-well microtiter plate with varying concentrations of several antimicrobial agents. What agar is used for the disk diffusion test? [color3] After incubation, the diameters of zones of inhibition around each antimicrobial disk are measured. MIC or zone measurements are interpreted as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant based on predefined criteria. DAY 1 Urine and respiratory cultures: Negative Blood cultures: 2 sets positive, Gram-positive cocci in clusters MRSA susceptible to vancomycin MIC = 2 µg/ml 3 n/a Blood Culture: 2 sets positive again with MRSA Vancomycin MIC = 2 µg/ml 6 n/a 1 set positive with MRSA Vancomycin MIC increased to 4 µg/ml (interpreted as “intermediate” and this MRSA is a VISA! What is the etiological agent in MRSA? [color4] What media would you use to confirm MRSA? [color5] Most MRSA do not develop vancomycin resistance even when serially passaged on media containing vancomycin. Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA; (MIC >8 µg/ml) are very uncommon. Classification S. aureus MIC (µg/mL) Susceptible (VSSA) ≤2 Intermediate (VISA) 4-8 Resistant (VRSA) ≥16 VISA is typically isolated from patients who have been on extended vancomycin therapy (weeks). The vancomycin MIC of this patient’s initial MRSA isolate was 2 µg/ml susceptible. The vancomycin MIC of the third MRSA was 4 µg/ml (VISA). Vancomycin was stopped and patient was started on linezolid. What does linezolid target? [color7] Resolution: Three subsequent blood cultures were all negative. Fever dropped and the patient’s mental status cleared. Patient was discharged 7 days later.
