7 Staphylococcus aureus Programme 2007 (SAP 2007) Hospital Survey MRSA Epidemiology and Typing Report 1.0. Overview Of the 889 S. aureus classified as MRSA in the SAP 2007 Hospital Survey, molecular typing was performed on 874 (98.3%) isolates. The percentage of S. aureus characterized as Healthcare-Associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) clones was similar in this survey (24.6%) when compared to the 2005 survey (24.9%). Although seven HA-MRSA clones were characterized, 99.2% of HA-MRSA were classified as either ST239/1282-MRSA-III (Aus- 2/3 EMRSA) or ST22-MRSA- (EMRSA-15). Apart from in Western Australia, Aus-2/3 remains the prominent HA-MRSA clone in Australian hospitals. Over the two surveys EMRSA-15 increased significantly in several regions particularly in the Victorian/Tasmanian hospitals (5.8% of MRSA in 2005 to 19.8% in 2007). Community- Associated MRSA clones (CA-MRSA) accounted for 23.9% of MRSA and 7.7% of all S. aureus. In % of S. aureus were characterized as CA-MRSA. As in the 2005 survey CA-MRSA were multiclonal (24 clones) however 85.2% of isolates could be characterized into six clones. Although ST1-MRSA- was the most frequently isolated CA-MRSA clone in most regions of Australia (33.0% of CA-MRSA), approximately 30% of CA-MRSA were characterized as either ST93-MRSA- (Queensland CA-MRSA) or ST30-MRSA- (SWP CA-MRSA). These two clones are Panton Valentine leucocidin (PVL) positive. Overall 31.6% of CA-MRSA were PVL positive, a 10% increase when compared to the 2005 survey. Although this increase in PVL-positive CA-MRSA was primarily due to the expansion of the ST93-MRSA- clone three international CA-MRSA clones including ST30-MRSA- (SWP MRSA), ST8-MRSA- (USA300) and ST1-MRSA- (possibly USA400) were characterised. The introduction of these clones into Australian hospitals is a major public health concern Summary The Australian Group for Antimicrobial Resistance (AGAR) biennial hospital Staphylococcus aureus surveillance programme commenced in In the 2007 programme (SAP 2007) up to 100 clinically significant consecutive isolates of S. aureus from different patients were collected by each of 31 institutions located across Australia. Isolates were collected from hospitalised patients (>48 hours at the time of collection). All methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates were referred to the Western Australian () Gram-positive Bacteria Typing and Research Unit (GPBTRU) for clone characterization and Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL) toxin determination. The molecular characterization of the MRSA isolates is designed to provide a snapshot of MRSA clones circulating in Australian hospitals. Of the 889 (32.9%) S. aureus classified as MRSA in SAP 2007, 874 (98.3%) were referred to the GPBTRU. Overall 76.1% and 23.9% of MRSA were characterized as 6 7
8 healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) strains and community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) strains respectively. Throughout Australia the percentage of S. aureus characterized as HA-MRSA was 24.6% ranging from 4.8% in to 34.7% in the ACT/NSW region ACT/NSW NT/Qld SA Tas/Vic Aust % S. aureus Percentage of S. aureus characterised as HA-MRSA Overall 7.7% of S aureus were characterized as CA-MRSA ranging from 4.4% in the Tas/Vic region to 14.3% in. 20 % S. aureus ACT/NSW NT/Qld SA Tas/Vic Aust Percentage of S. aureus characterised as CA-MRSA 7 8
9 2.1. HA-MRSA (Healthcare-Associated MRSA) Clones Seven HA-MRSA clones were identified in the Australian community; 74.9% were ST239-MRSA-III or ST1282-MRSA-III [a single locus variant of ST239] (Aus-2/3 EMRSA), 24.4% ST22-MRSA- (EMRSA-15), and single isolates of ST36-MRSA-II (EMRSA-16 or USA200), ST247-MRSA-I (EMRSA-17), ST8-MRSA-VI (Irish 2 EMRSA), ST5-MRSA-II (New York Japan EMRSA or USA100) and ST228-MRSA-I (Southern German EMRSA). ST239-MRSA MRSA-III/ST1282-MRSA-III (Aus-2/3 EMRSA) ST22-MRSA MRSA- (EMRSA 15 or Barnim EMRSA) ST5-MRSA MRSA-II (New York Japan EMRSA or USA 100) ST36-MRSA MRSA-II (EMRSA 16 or USA200) ST247-MRSA MRSA-I I (EMRSA 17) ST8-MRSA MRSA-VI (Irish 2 EMRSA) ST228-MRSA MRSA-I I (Southern German MRSA) 68% National: 76.1% of MRSA Northern Territory/Queensland: 143 isolates (3 clones) 25% 68% 86% Australian Capital Territory/ New South Wales 280 isolates ( 3 clones) Western Australia 15 isolates (4 clones) South Australia 48 isolates (2 clones) HA-MRSA Clones 86% Tasmania/Victoria: (179 isolates (3 clones) ST239-MRSA-III and ST1282-MRSA-III (Aus-2/3 EMRSA) was isolated in all regions, accounting for 66.2% and 63.3% of MRSA in the Tas/Vic and ACT/NSW regions respectively. ST1282-MRSA-III, an Aus-3 EMRSA variant, was confined to a single Queensland hospital. As a consequence of the state s MRSA prevention policy the percentage of MRSA identified as ST239-MRSA-III in remained low accounting for only 3.3% of MRSA. Overall 57.0% of MRSA were identified as Aus-2/3 EMRSA compared to 63.1% in SAP ST22-MRSA- (EMRSA-15), which was initially reported in Australia in 1997, accounted for 18.5% of all MRSA isolated in Australia (15.6% in SAP2005), ranging from 9.1% in the NT/Qld region to 26.8% in SA. The percentage of MRSA characterized as EMRSA-15 has increased in three Australian regions over the two surveys noticeably in the Tas/Vic region (5.8% to 19.8% of MRSA). 8 9
10 2.2. CA-MRSA (Community-Associated MRSA) Clones Twenty four community MRSA clones were identified by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (corresponding to 18 MLST/SCCmec clones) of which 85.2% were: - ST1-MRSA- [ MRSA-1] (33.0%) - ST93-MRSA- [Queensland CA-MRSA] (19.1%) - ST5-MRSA- [ MRSA-3] (11.5%) - ST30-MRSA- [SWP MRSA] (9.6%) - ST78-MRSA- [ MRSA-2] (7.2%) - ST45-MRSA- [ MRSA-23 or Victorian CA-MRSA] (4.8%) Three USA300 (ST8-MRSA-) isolates were characterized one in ACT/NSW, NT/Qld and Tas/Vic regions.

CA-MRSA Clones 66 CA-MRSA (4 clones) were PVL positive: - ST93-MRSA- (Queensland CA-MRSA) 40 isolates (100% PVL positive) - ST30-MRSA- [WSPP MRSA] 19 isolates (95% PVL positive) - ST8-MRSA- [USA300] 2 isolates (67% PVL positive) - ST1-MRSA- [ MRSA-1] 5 isolates (7% PVL positive) It is possible that the five MRSA-1 isolates are USA400 strains however further molecular studies are required to confirm 100 % CA-MRSA ACT/NSW NT/Qld SA Tas/Vic Aust Percentage of CA-MRSA PVL positive Overall 32% of CA-MRSA were identified as PVL positive ranging from 7% in to 53% in the ACT/NSW region. In the previous hospital survey (SAP 2005) 22% of CA- MRSA were PVL positive ranging from 0% in to 46% in the ACT/NSW region. The percentage of CA-MRSA that were PVL positive increased in all regions except for NT/Qld. However in SAP 2005 isolates from NT were not characterised
12 3.0. SAP 2007 Protocol 3.1. Commencement Date 1 st July Isolates Approximately 100 consecutive clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from 100 different patients at each site were tested by 31 laboratories located across Australia (total number of isolates = 2,705). Isolates were collected from inpatients only (hospital stay >48 hours at the time of collection) Participating Laboratories Australian Capital Territory (1) South Australia (3) The Canberra Hospital New South Wales (8) Flinders Medical Centre Institute of Medical Veterinary Science Women s and Children s Hospital Concord Hospital Nepean Hospital Tasmania (2) Royal North Shore Hospital South West Area Pathology Services Royal Hobart Hospital Westmead Hospital Launceston General Hospital Douglass Hanly Moir Pathology Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Victoria (6) John Hunter Hospital Alfred Hospital Queensland (6) Gribbles Pathology Royal Children s Hospital Princess Alexandra Hospital St Vincent s Hospital Royal Brisbane and Women s Hospital Austin Health Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology Monash Medical Centre Cairns Base Hospital Gold Coast Hospital Western Australia (4) Prince Charles Hospital PathWest- Fremantle Hospital Northern Territory (1) PathWest- Queen Elizabeth II PathWest- Royal Perth Hospital Royal Darwin Hospital Saint John of God Pathology 11 12
13 3.4. Methicillin Susceptibility Testing Vitek2 AST-P545 susceptibility card according to the manufacturer s guidelines Epidemiological Typing Performed by the Gram-positive Bacteria Typing and Research Unit Department of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, PathWest Laboratory Medicine, Royal Perth Hospital, Perth Western Australia. Molecular Genetics Research Unit, School of Biomedical Sciences, Curtin University of Technology, Bentley, Western Australia MRSA Nomenclature The Gram-positive Bacteria Typing and Research Unit employs the international MRSA nomenclature system described by Enright et al. (1). This system provides a universally standardised MRSA nomenclature allowing MRSA clones to be readily compared between laboratories and countries. It is based upon the combination of the sequences of seven housekeeping genes combined to define a sequence type (ST) using multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and the SCCmec type. The MRSA genotype is therefore the sum of the SCCmec type and the type of its recipient chromosome. For example, a MRSA clone of ST22 and SCCmec type is referred to as ST22-MRSA- (previously known as EMRSA-15). Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) MLST is a highly discriminatory method of characterising MRSA. For each of the seven housekeeping gene fragments, different sequences are assigned as distinct alleles, and an isolate is defined by the alleles of each of the seven housekeeping loci (the allelic profile or ST). The ST can be compared with the STs of other strains using the program BURST which is located on the MLST website ( As there are many alleles for each loci, isolates are highly unlikely to have identical ST by chance, and therefore isolates with the same ST or STs that differ at no more than two alleles are considered to belong to the same clonal complex (CC) and be members of the same clone. Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) The gene for methicillin resistance, meca, is contained within a mobile element known as the mec region or staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). The SCCmecs differ depending on variations in the meca regulatory region (mec complex), the type of cassette chromosome recombinases (ccr genes), and the resistance determinants they have acquired due to the integration of plasmids and transposons
14 Eight SCCmec types have been identified globally. Types I, II, III and VI are associated with healthcare-associated MRSA while Types, V, VII and VIII are normally associated with community-associated MRSA. In this report MRSA are classified as either healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) clones or community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) clones and are assigned an MLST/SCCmec type. The previous nomenclature that was applied to HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA clones is also reported. HA-MRSA clones are also known as Epidemic MRSA (EMRSA) clones, however with the epidemic properties of several CA-MRSA clones, the term HA-MRSA is used in this report Panton-Valentine Leucocidin (PVL) Toxin CA-MRSA have been shown to acquire several virulence genes including the determinants for PVL (2). PVL is a necrotizing toxin that causes leucocyte destruction and tissue necrosis and is associated with abscesses and severe pneumonia. It is present in the majority of CA-MRSA studied in Europe and USA (3). In Australia, it was initially reported that CA-MRSA infrequently carry the genes encoding PVL (4). However, two CA-MRSA clones now frequently isolated in Australia are PVL positive; ST30-MRSA- and ST93-MRSA-. These clones were originally reported in Auckland, New Zealand and Queensland, Australia respectively. ST30-MRSA- was first noted in Australia in 1997 in the Polynesian population living in the eastern Australian states and the Australian Capital Territory (5). ST93-MRSA- was first identified as a cause of community-acquired infection in the Caucasian population in Ipswich, Queensland in 2000 (6). Both clones are now frequently isolated in several regions of Australia especially on the east coast (7). Several imported PVL-positive CA-MRSA clones have recently been identified in Australia including (8): 1. ST8-MRSA- (USA300) 2. ST80-MRSA- (European CA-MRSA) 3. ST59-MRSA-V T (Taiwan CA-MRSA) 4. ST1-MRSA- (USA400) PVL genes have been shown to be transmitted by a temperate phage indicating that the PVL determinants are transferable (9). Recently PVL-positive ST1-MRSA- strains have been isolated in Queensland (10) and New South Wales (11), Australian states that have reported an increasing incidence of ST30-MRSA- and ST93-MRSA- (6,12,13). This may suggest that the PVL determinants are being transferred and raises the prospect that more CA-MRSA in Australia may become PVL positive in the future
15 4.0. Methods 4.1. Epidemiological Typing Methods Antibiogram Participating laboratories performed antimicrobial susceptibility tests using the Vitek2 AST-P545 card (BioMerieux, Durham, NC). Antimicrobials tested were benzylpenicillin, oxacillin, cefazolin, vancomycin, rifampicin, fusidic acid, gentamicin, erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline, trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (cotrimoxazole), ciprofloxacin, quinupristin/dalfopristin (Synercid ), teicoplanin, linezolid, imipenem, and nitrofurantoin. Penicillin susceptible strains were tested for β-lactamase production using nitrocefin. A cefoxitin disc diffusion test was used to confirm methicillin-resistance. Mupirocin and cefoxitin were tested by disc diffusion using the CLSI or CDS methods. The MIC of mupirocin resistant isolates was determined by Etest (AB Biodisk, Solna, Sweden). Resistogram Disk Diffusion (14, 15) Urease mercuric chloride (HgCl 2 ) (0.4μM) phenylmercuric acetate (PMA) (5 mm) Christensen s Urea broth incubated for 24hrs at 37 o C (16). Coagulase Gene PCR-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLP) Assay Coagulase gene restriction fragment length polymorphism typing was performed as previously described (17). Contour-clamped Homogeneous Electric Field Electrophoresis (CHEF) Electrophoresis of chromosomal DNA was performed as previously described (18) using the CHEF DR III System (Bio-Rad Laboratories Pty Ltd). Chromosomal patterns were examined visually, scanned with a Quantity One and digitally analysed using FPQuest (Bio-Rad Laboratories). CHEF patterns were grouped according to the criteria of Tenover et al. (19) and using a dendogram similarity of 80% or greater to assign strain relatedness. S aureus NCTC 8325 was used as the size marker
16 Chromosomal DNA Preparation Chromosomal DNA for MLST and SCCmec typing was prepared using the DNeasy Tissue kit (Qiagen Pty Ltd, Clifton Hill, Victoria, Australia 3068). Multi Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) MLST was performed on selected isolates as specified by Enright et al. (1). The sequences obtained were compared with the sequences at the MLST web site at to assign a sequence type (ST). Using the MLST database, clones were subsequently grouped into clonal complexes. Staphylococcal Chromosomal Cassette mec (SCCmec) The SCCmec was typed by PCR using previously published primers that identified the class of mec complex and type of cassette chromosome recombinase (ccr) encoded on the element (20,21,22) 4.2.

30 ST239-MRSA-III In Australia ST239-MRSA-III has been classified into two subclones: Aus-2 and Aus- 3 EMRSA. This classification is based on the mercuric acetate and phenylmercuric chloride resistogram and CHEF pattern. ST239-MRSA-III evolved from the Eastern Australian EMRSA clone described in the 1980s. ST239-MRSA-III has emerged as one of the most commonly encountered and internationally disseminated multidrugresistant HA-MRSA clones.

47 5.4. CA-MRSA Clones CA-MRSA was first reported in Australia in the early 1980s in aboriginal communities living in the Kimberley region of Western Australia (). Known collectively as MRSA they were subsequently isolated in other remote communities in, South Australia and Northern Territory. These strains are usually susceptible to most non- -lactams antibiotics. MRSA has acquired the community associated SCCmec types and V, which usually lack transposons, integrated plasmids and other antibiotic resistance genes. Although they have been introduced into teaching hospitals outbreaks have rarely been reported. In the 1990s non-multiresistant MRSA were isolated on the eastern seaboard in suburban/regional areas of south east Queensland, Sydney and Canberra (5). They were frequently isolated in people of Pacific Island descent and were subsequently identified as South Western Pacific MRSA (SWP MRSA). SWP MRSA has previously been reported in New Zealand and several Pacific islands. In 2000 a non-multiresistrant MRSA was identified as a cause of community acquired infection in the Caucasian population living in Ipswich Queensland and was subsequently identified as Queensland MRSA (6). Although both strains initially caused skin infections they have now been associated with serious invasive disease and have been shown to be PVL positive
