    • Background: We aimed to explore microbiological risk factor of in-hospital mortality in persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureusbacteremia (pMRSAB) which is yet poorly understood.

    Methods: A prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed cohort study was conducted at 10 hospitals in South Korea. Adults who suffered SAB over a 7-year period were reviewed, and pMRSAB was defined as an MRSAB longer than 3 days despite of adequate antimicrobial therapy. Among 1,588 cases of SAB, 866 (54.5%) were MRSAB, and 241 (27.8%) of those were pMRSAB. Blood isolates were analyzable in 172 (71.4%) cases. Functionality of agr locus, spa type, SCCmec type, presence of genes for PVL and PSM-mec, and vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were determined. Those microbiological factors were analyzed together with clinical factors to reveal the risk factors of in-hospital mortality.

    Results: Among 172 cases of analyzable pMRSAB, 57 (33.1%) were in-hospital mortality. The number of agr dysfunction was significantly higher in in-hospital mortality than in survival (75.4%, 43/57 vs. 52.2%, 60/115, P=0.008). SCCmec type, positivity of PVL and PSM-mec genes, and vancomycin MIC were not significantly different between those groups. In multivariable analysis with clinical factors including Charlson’s comorbidity weighted index score, Pitt bacteremia score, and pneumonia as a primary infection foci, agr dysfunction was revealed as an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality in pMRSAB (adjusted odds ratio, 2.38; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-5.04, P=0.024) (Table).

    Conclusion: agr dysfunction is an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality in pMRSAB.
