Epidemiological profile and antimicrobial resistance trends of Staphylococcus aureus in Chinese pediatric intensive care units from 2016 to 2022: a multi-center retrospective study

Staphylococcus aureus is the most common gram-positive bacterium in PICUs. Infants are most likely to be infected by Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. And the lower respiratory tract is the most common infected site of Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus has a high resistant rates to commonly used antimicriobials in pediatrics, but no strains resistant to vancomycin and/or linezolid were found. When considering Staphylococcus aureus infection clinically, it is necessary to select antimicrobials reasonably based on the patient's age, infected site and local epidemiological characteristics.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is the most common gram-positive bacterium in PICUs. Infants are most likely to be infected by Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. And the lower respiratory tract is the most common infected site of Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus has a high resistant rates to commonly used antimicriobials in pediatrics, but no strains resistant to vancomycin and/or linezolid were found. When considering Staphylococcus aureus infection clinically, it is necessary to select antimicrobials reasonably based on the patient's age, infected site and local epidemiological characteristics.
