    Abstract Staphylococcus aureus and other staphylococcal species are resident and transient multihost colonizers as well as conditional pathogens. Especially S. aureus represents an excellent model bacterium for the "One Health" concept because of its dynamics at the human-animal interface and versatility with respect to host adaptation. The development of antimicrobial resistance plays another integral part. This overview will focus on studies at the human-animal interface with respect to livestock farming and to companion animals, as well as on staphylococci in wildlife. In this context transmissions of staphylococci and of antimicrobial resistance genes between animals and humans are of particular significance.

    Abstract Seit einigen Jahren nimmt der Anteil Methicillin-resistenter Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) an der S. aureus-Population ab, was sich auch in den Daten verschiedener nationaler und internationaler Surveillancesysteme widerspiegelt. Die nationale Antibiotika-Resistenz-Surveillance ARS des Robert Koch-Instituts basiert auf Resistenzdaten aus der Routinediagnostik der stationären und ambulanten Versorgung. Für das Jahr 2021 liegen Daten aus ca. 700 Krankenhäusern und 24.000 Arztpraxen vor. In der stationären Versorgung sank der Anteil von MRSA an S. aureus-Isolaten von 12,5 % im Jahr 2017 auf 7,3 % bzw. 7,1 % in den Jahren 2021 und 2022, in der ambulanten Versorgung im gleichen Zeitraum von 7,7 % auf 4,8 % bzw. 4,7 %. Im vorliegenden Bericht werden Daten zur Häufigkeit, den Eigenschaften und dem Auftreten epidemischer MRSA in Krankhäusern in Deutschland zusammengefasst. Ebenfalls beschrieben werden Trends in der Resistenzentwicklung, das Auftreten und die Verbreitung von Community- und Livestock-assoziierten MRSA sowie Untersuchungen im Rahmen von Ausbruchsgeschehen.

    Abstract Objectives: Because of a steady increase in the detection of daptomycin-resistant (DAP-R) Staphylococcus aureus at three medical centres in Cologne, Germany, molecular surveillance was established from June 2016 to June 2018 to investigate the causes of the emergence and spread of respective isolates. Seventy-five S. aureus isolates, both DAP-R and DAP-susceptible, were collected from 42 patients for further analysis.
    Methods: Broth microdilution was used to determine the MICs for DAP and polyhexamethylene biguanide/polyhexanide (PHMB). To investigate the effect of PHMB on the development of DAP resistance, we performed selection experiments with PHMB. All isolates studied were subjected to whole-genome sequencing. Epidemiological, clinical, microbiological and molecular data were analysed comparatively.
    Results: Acquisition of DAP resistance was mainly observed in patients with acute and chronic wounds (40/42, 96.2%) treated with antiseptic (32/42, 76.2%) rather than systemic antibiotic therapy using DAP or vancomycin (7/42, 16.7%). DAP-R S. aureus had a diverse genetic background; however, within individual patients, isolates were closely related. At least three potential transmission events were detected. Most DAP-R isolates had concomitant elevated MICs for PHMB (50/54, 92.6%), and in vitro selection experiments confirmed that PHMB treatment is capable of generating DAP resistance. DAP resistance could be linked to 12 different polymorphisms in the mprF gene in the majority of clinical isolates (52/54, 96.3%) as well as in all in vitro selected strains.
    Discussion: DAP resistance in S. aureus can occur independently of prior antibiotic therapy and can be selected by PHMB. Therefore, wound treatment with PHMB may trigger individual resistance development associated with gain-of-function mutations in the mprF gene.

    Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of glycopeptide resistance in enterococci and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) and to determine the susceptibilities of the identified glycopeptide-resistant isolates to dalbavancin.
    Methods: Twenty-two medical laboratories participated in the study conducted in 2016/17 by the Paul-Ehrlich-Society for Chemotherapy. Each laboratory was asked to collect 30 Enterococcus spp. (limited to Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium) and 30 CoNS isolates consecutively from hospitalised patients with a proven or suspected infection.
    Results: A total of 1285 isolates were collected, comprising 364 E. faecalis, 291 E. faecium and 630 CoNS. No E. faecalis isolates (0%) but 76 E. faecium isolates (26.1%) were vancomycin-resistant, of which 21 showed the VanA type and 55 the VanB type. The proportion of vancomycin-resistant strains among E. faecium isolates from patients in intensive care units (21.6%) was significantly lower than that from patients on regular wards (30.5%). Among the CoNS, 67 isolates (10.6%) were teicoplanin-resistant but none were vancomycin-resistant, with resistance only detected in Staphylococcus epidermidis (12.2%), Staphylococcus haemolyticus (17.9%) and Staphylococcus hominis (13.2%). Dalbavancin at ≤0.25 mg/L inhibited all VanB-type enterococci and 95.5% of teicoplanin-resistant CoNS.
    Conclusion: The level of glycopeptide resistance in E. faecalis remains very low in Germany but achieved 26% in E. faecium and was >10% in CoNS. Dalbavancin appears to be a feasible option for treating infections caused by VanB-type vancomycin-resistant E. faecium and teicoplanin-resistant CoNS.

    Abstract Background: In recent years, an increasing number of linezolid-resistant enterococci (LRE) was recognized at the German National Reference Centre (NRC) for Enterococci. National guidelines on infection prevention recommend screening for LRE in epidemiologically linked hospital settings without referring to a reliable and rapid diagnostic method. Since 2020, CHROMAgar™ provide a chromogenic linezolid screening agar, LIN-R, suitable to simultaneously screen for linezolid-resistant staphylococci and enterococci.
    Objectives: To assess the applicability of CHROMAgar™ LIN-R in clinical settings for detecting LRE directly from patient material and to infer prevalence rates of LRE amongst German hospital patients.
    Methods: During the 3-month trial period, clinical samples were plated on CHROMAgar™ LIN-R. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using VITEK2 or disc diffusion. At the NRC, linezolid resistance was determined by broth microdilution, multiplex-PCR for cfr/optrA/poxtA and by a restriction-based assay for 23S rDNA mutations.
    Results: The 12 participating study sites used 13 963 CHROMAgar™ LIN-R plates during the study period. Of 442 presumptive LRE, 192 were confirmed by phenotypic methods. Of these, 161 were received by the NRC and 121 (75%) were verified as LRE. Most of LR-E. faecium 53/81 (65%) exhibited a 23S rRNA gene mutation as the sole resistance-mediating mechanism, whereas optrA constituted the dominant resistance trait in LR-E. faecalis [39/40 (98%)]. Prevalence of LRE across sites was estimated as 1% (ranging 0.18%-3.7% between sites).
    Conclusions: CHROMAgar™ LIN-R represents a simple and efficient LRE screening tool in hospital settings. A high proportion of false-positive results demands validation of linezolid resistance by a reference method.
