Comparison of GeneXpert MRSA/SA ETA assay with semi-quantitative and quantitative cultures and nuc gene-based qPCR for detection of Staphylococcus aureus in endotracheal aspirate samples Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Antwerpen
Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a common cause of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Rapid and accurate detection of lower respiratory tract colonization and/or infection with S. aureus may inform targeted preventive and therapeutic strategies. To investigate this, we compared semi-quantitative (SQ)-culture results from 79 endotracheal aspirates (ETA) collected from mechanically-ventilated patients, to two culture and two ...

Efficacy and safety of suvratoxumab for prevention of Staphylococcus aureus ventilator-associated pneumonia (SAATELLITE) Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus remains a common cause of ventilator-associated pneumonia, with little change in incidence over the past 15 years. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of suvratoxumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the α toxin, in reducing the incidence of S aureus pneumonia in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who are on mechanical ventilation.
METHODS: We did a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, ...

Community associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Community associated methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is an emergent infectious pathogen that might become an important public-health problem. Indeed, unique strains of S. aureus that combine specific virulence factors with resistance against frequently used antibiotics have been associated with severe community acquired infections in otherwise healthy and often younger people. This is especially the case in the USA, were ...
