    Abstract Correlation of antimicrobial susceptibility patterns with particular spa types could help physicians select appropriate antibiotics for the treatment of invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. The aim of this study was to investigate invasive MRSA isolates through delineating the molecular typing results and correlating them with antibiotic susceptibility testing results. A total of 670 non-duplicate mecA-positive MRSA isolates from patients with invasive infections were collected from a 5-year nationwide antimicrobial surveillance programme [Tigecycline In vitro Surveillance in Taiwan (TIST)] and 58 spa types were identified among 639 isolates (95.4%) by determining the allelic profile of the spa gene using PCR and nucleotide sequencing. Six major spa types, including spa t002 (n = 103; 15.4%) and t037 (n = 253, 37.8%), were classified as healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA; 53.1%), while t437 (n = 151; 22.5%), t441 (n = 13; 1.9%), t1081 (n = 19; 2.8%) and t3525 (n = 14; 2.1%) were classified as community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA; 29.4%). Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by agar dilution or broth microdilution for various antibiotics, and Etest was also used both for daptomycin and vancomycin. The declining trend in vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was in parallel with an increasing frequency of CA-MRSA. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns were correlated with particular spa types and this correlation could help physicians select appropriate antibiotics for the treatment of invasive MRSA infections.

    Abstract Background: Melioidosis is a systemic and suppurative disease endemic in the Southeast Asia. In Taiwan, most cases are reported in the southern region and no relevant profiles have been reported in central region. In this study, we performed the epidemiologic and clinical analyses from the melioidosis cases in central Taiwan.
    Methods: The demographic, clinical, laboratory, radiologic, and outcome profiles were collected retrospectively and analyzed from patients whom
    Results: Totally 11 melioidosis cases (10 males and 1 female) were diagnosed, among them only 2 (18.2%) cases lived in suburban areas. Seven (63.6%) cases were diagnosed during 2019-2020, and diabetes mellitus was the most relevant comorbidity (5, 45.4%). All cases presented with fever at arrival, but only 4 (36.4%) and 2 (18.2%) cases presented with dyspnea and shock, respectively. Pneumonitis and extrapulmonary involvement were found in 5 cases (45.4%) each. Appropriate empiric and targeted antibiotic treatments were found in 4 (36.4%) and 10 (91.0%) case, respectively. Two cases (18.2%) succumbed to infection despite appropriate treatment including targeted antibiotics.
    Conclusion: Melioidosis has become endemic in central Taiwan. Septic patients who present with suppurative or undetermined foci and have unsatisfied responses to standard treatment should arouse clinicians to take melioidosis into consideration.

    Abstract Background: Patients with invasive infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), especially those with an elevated minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of vancomycin (VA), are likely to have treatment failure and poor outcomes. The aim of this study was to delineate and correlate the genotypes and phenotypes of clinical VA-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) from invasive infections in Taiwan.
    Methods: Between 2006 and 2010, a total of 670 non-duplicate MRSA isolates were collected from patients with invasive infections, mostly from blood, as part of a nationwide antimicrobial surveillance program named Tigecycline in vitro Surveillance in Taiwan. Among them, 10 (1.5%) VISA (VA MIC = 4 mg/L) isolates were identified. Molecular typing with staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec), multilocus sequence typing, staphylococcal protein A (spa), mec-associated hypervariable region (dru), accessory gene regulator (agr), and pulse-field gel electrophoresis, and phenotypic analysis including antibiotic susceptibility testing, gene encoding Panton-Valentine leukocidin (pvl), and superantigenic toxin profiles, were analyzed.
    Results: All but one isolate was defined as molecular health-care-associated MRSA: 6 as SCCmecIII-ST239-spa t037-agrI-dru7 (1 isolate) and dru14 (5 isolates), 2 as SCCmecII-ST5-spa t586-agrII-dru4, and one as SCCmecII-ST89-spa t3520-agrIII-dru7. One isolate was defined as SCCmecIV-ST59-spa t437-agrI-dru8, which was categorized as molecular community-associated MRSA. Five pulsotypes were identified; only one had a positive D-test and 3 were insusceptible to daptomycin (MIC ≧1 mg/L). Five isolates possessed sea-selk-selq, among them 4 belonged to SCCmecIII-ST239-spa t037-agrI.
    Conclusion: In this study, VISA was rarely isolated from invasive MRSA infections, and most cases harbored limited genotypes and corresponding phenotypes.
