PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical, phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus strains causing osteoarticular infections in a large paediatric series.
METHODOLOGY: Medical records of children who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of community-associated S. aureus (CA-SA) osteomyelitis and/or septic arthritis in the two major tertiary paediatric hospitals of Athens during an 8-year period (2007-2015) were reviewed, and S. aureus isolates were analysed regarding antimicrobial resistance, detection of pathogenicity genes and genotyping using SCCmec, agr typing, PFGE and MLST.
RESULTS: During the study period, 123 children with CA-SA osteoarticular infections were identified, and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) accounted for 44 of these (35.8 %). Children with MRSA infection had a significantly higher admission rate to the ICU (5.7 vs 0 %, P=0.04) and longer duration of hospitalization (21.6 vs 16.7 days, P=0.04). Sixty-eight isolates [42 (methicillin-sensitive S. aureus) MSSA and 26 MRSA] were available for molecular analysis. All MRSA strains were mecA-positive and most carried the SCCmec IV cassette (23/26, 88 %) and belonged to the PFGE type C (24/26, 92.3 %), agr type 3 (24/26, 92.3 %) and the MLST ST80 clone (24/26, 92.3 %). In contrast, MSSA strains showed polyclonality by PFGE and agr typing. Regarding pathogenicity genes, MRSA vs MSSA isolates showed higher detection rates of PVL (96.2 vs 4.8 %, P<0.0001) and fib (80.8 vs 50 %, P=0.02).
CONCLUSIONS: In our study a considerable number of S. aureus osteoarticular infections were due to CA-MRSA isolates, most of which belonged to the ST80 clone and had a higher incidence of specific virulence factors, entailing higher ICU admission rates and a longer duration of hospitalization.
