dc.description.abstract | Abstract Background: In this study, our objective was to characterize Staphylococcus lugdunensis isolated from sterile body fluids (SBFs) in a medical center in Taiwan between 2009 and 2020. Methods: We used MALDI-TOF MS, disk diffusion testing, agar dilution assay, SCCmec typing, and antibiotic resistance gene screening to identify and investigate the characteristics of oxacillinresistant S. lugdunensis (ORSL). Results: A total of 438 S. lugdunensis isolates were collected and 146 (33.3%) isolates were identified as ORSL. SCCmec type V was dominant (65.7%) in our ORSL isolates, followed by SCCmec type II (18.5%), and type IV (8.9%). After 2013, a slight increase in SCCmec types IV and V was revealed. Moreover, all ORSL isolates with type II and untypable SCCmec were highly resistant to oxacillin (MIC >32 mg/mL), compared to ORSL that had SCCmec types IV, V, and VT. All 146 ORSL isolates were resistant to penicillin and susceptible to teicoplanin and vancomycin. High resistance rates was observed. Moreover, only two (1.4%) and six (4.1%) ORSL isolates were resistant to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and ciprofloxacin, respectively. The erythromycin-resistant ORSL isolates mostly exhibited constitutive MLSB resistant phenotype (61/63, 96.8%) and contained either ermC alone (27/63, 42.9%) or a combination of ermC with ermA (28/63, 44.4%). Conclusion: Our present study showed a stable rate of ORSL from SBFs during 2009e2020. Moreover, teicoplanin, vancomycin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, and ciprofloxacin were shown to be highly efficient for the treatment of ORSL in vitro | en_US |
