Zusammenfassung

Dieser Bericht bezieht sich auf das Auftreten und die Ausbreitung von S. aureus-Stämmen mit besonderer klinischer und epidemiologischer Bedeutung. Die Ergebnisse der Typisierung von MRSA unterschiedlicher klinischer Herkünfte in Deutschland weisen auf eine kontinuierliche Ausbreitung bestimmter Epidemiestämme zwischen Krankenhäusern hin. Daneben wird derTransfer des mecA-Gens in Stämme beoachtet, die zu bisher diesbezüglich empfindlichen klonalen Gruppen von S. aureus gehören. Diese neu entstandenen MRSA sind noch empfindlich gegen eine Reihe von Antibiotika; dies führt zu weniger „breiten“ Resistenzphänotypen. Weiterhin erwähnenswert im Hinblick auf die Diagnostik toxinvermittelter S. aureus-In-fektionen sind die klinischen Fälle des Toxic-Schock-Syndroms verursacht durch S. aureus secC, nicht aber tst

Summary

This report focusses on the emergence and spread of S. aureus with special clinical and epidemiological significance. Results from typing MRSA originating from different clinical sources in all Germany reveal that there is a continuing interhospital dissemination of definite epidemic strains and also a spread of the mecA gene to clonal groups of S. aureus which have been until now sensitive. These newly emerging MRSA are still sensitive to a number of other antibiotics. This results in less broad resistance phenotypes of currently disseminated MRSA. Worth mentioning with regard to diagnostics are also three clinical cases of staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome caused by S. aureus possessing secC and not tst
