scholarly journals Influence of led radiation on the staphylococcus aureus sensitivity to antibiotics

We studied the influence of LED radiation of red + infrared (MEDOLIGHT Red device) and blue + infrared (MEDOLIGHT BluDoc device) ranges on clinical isolates Staphylococcus aureus and collection test strain Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 sensitivity to antibiotics. The dependence of radiation on the studied objects depending on exposure, wavelength and frequency were defined. The result of photo modification on the state of microorganisms was increase of their sensitivity to some of the tested antibiotics. Based on the data obtained, we developed an algorithm and clinical recommendations for the use of LED radiation in the complex therapy of purulent-inflammatory diseases.

General objectives: This study aimed at assessment of factors affecting antimicrobial sensitivity in Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates from Assir region, Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: In this study, eighty one patients presented with Staph. aureus infections either nosocomial or community acquired infections were involved by collecting nasal swabs from them at Aseer Central Hospital General Lab. These patients were from all age groups and from males and females during the period of Jan 2011- Jun 2011. These samples were undergone variable laboratory procedures mainly; bactech, culture media, antibiotics sensitivity test using diffusion disc test (MIC) and molecular (PCR) for detection of mec A gene. Clinical and laboratory data were recorded in special formats and analyzed by statistical computer program (SPSS). Results: Showed that; Descriptive and analytical statistical analysis were performed and final results were plotted in tables. In Staph aureus MecA gene positive cases (50) showed: Oxacillin/ Mithicillin, Ciprofloxacin and Fusidin resistant in diabetic patients were 13, 26.0%, 9, 18% and 7, 14% respectively and in non diabetic patients were 37, 74.0%, 22, 44% and 20, 40% respectively. While no sensitivity in diabetic and non diabetic patients using Oxacillin/ Mithicillin. In Staph aureus MecA gene negative cases (31) showed: Oxacillin/ Mithicillin, sensitivity in diabetic patients (5, 16.1%) and in non diabetic were (26, 83.9%). While no resistant in diabetic and non diabetic patients. In Ciprofloxacin and Fusidin resistant in diabetic patients were 1, 3.2% and 1, 3.2% respectively and in non diabetic patients were 12, 38.7% and 7, 22.6%respectively. Erythromycin in Staph aureus ( MecA gene) positive cases (50) showed: resistant in age (0-15) years were (5, 10%), (16-50) years were (16, 32%) and ( ›50 years) were (12, 24%). Erythromycin in Staph aureus (MecA gene) negative cases (31) showed: resistant in age (0-15) years were (6, 19.3%), (16-50) years were (5, 16.1%) and ( ›50 years) were (3, 9.7%). Conclusion: Drugs resistance is a major progressive multifactorial problem facing the treatment of Staph aureus infections.

Представлены результаты проспективного обследования 80 больных ГКБ №7 с бактериемией с октября 2019 года по февраль 2021 года из различных отделений госпиталя. Производилась оценки показателей маркеров сепсиса - пресепсина, прокальцитонина и С-реактивного белка (СРБ) в крови больных в динамике эмпирической терапии антимикробными препаратами (АМП). Наибольшее число больных с выявленной бактериемией находилось в отделении ОАРИТ - 39 пациентов, у 25 из них был диагностирован сепсис по шкале СЕПСИС III, вызванный известными патогенами Staphylococcus aureus (46,6%) и Escherichia coli (36,6%). Для эмпирического лечения применялись различные антибиотики: ампенициллин, амикацин, меропенем, цефотаксим, метрид, ципрофлоксацин, ципрокс, цефлокс, цефазолин, цефтриаксон, левофлоксацин. Уровни прокальцитонина составляют для больных с клиническими изолятами E. coli 20,8±3,1нг/мл, а для изолятов St. aureus 15,7±1,8 нг/мл. После терапии АМП наблюдается значительное снижение показателей до 1,43±0,6 и 2,3±0,9 нг/мл., что позволяет признать эффективность эмпирической антибиотикотерапии при инфекциях кровотока. Высокая чувствительность клинических изолятов Escherichia coli отмечена к препаратам группы карбапенемов - имипенему и меропенему (90,9%), низкая к эртапенему (72,7%). 100% чувствительность все изоляты показали по отношению к АМП из группы глицилциклинов - тигециклину, который структурно сходен с тетрациклинами. Высокой резистеностью клинические изоляты Staphylococcus aureus обладают к пенициллину (92,9%), липопептиду природного происхождения даптомицину (85,8%) и препарату из группы линкозамидов - клиндамицину (64,3%). The results of a prospective examination of 80 patients with bacteremia from October 2019 to February 2021 from various departments of the hospital are presented. The largest number of patients with detected bacteremia were in the OARIT department - 39 patients, 25 of them were diagnosed with sepsis according to the SEPSIS III scale, caused by known pathogens Staphylococcus aureus (46.6%) and Escherichia coli (36.6%). For empirical treatment, various antibiotics were used: ampenicillin, amikacin, meropenem, cefotaxime, metrid, ciprofloxacin, ciprox, ceflox, cefazolin, ceftriaxone, levofloxacin. Procalcitonin levels for patients with clinical E. coli isolates are 20.8 ± 3.1 ng / ml, and for St. aureus 15.7 ± 1.8 ng / ml. After AMP therapy, there is a significant decrease in indicators to 1.43 ± 0.6 and 2.3 ± 0.9 ng / ml, which makes it possible to recognize the effectiveness of empiric antibiotic therapy for bloodstream infections. High sensitivity of clinical isolates of Escherichia coli was noted to drugs of the carbapenem group - imipenem and meropenem (90.9%), low to ertapenem (72.7%). All isolates showed 100% sensitivity to AMPs from the glycylcycline group - tigecycline, which is structurally similar to tetracyclines. Clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus are highly resistant to penicillin (92.9%), natural lipopeptide daptomycin (85.8%), and a drug from the lincosamide group - clindamycin (64.3%).
