Abstract

Introduction: Vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid and daptomycin are four major antibacterials used for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Infection treatment. However, with the increasing failure of clinical MRSA anti-infective treatment, it is urgent to investigate the status of MRSA sensitivity to these four drugs.

Methods: In the present study, 407 non-duplicated MRSA isolates from 6 provinces in China were collected from January 2018 to August 2020. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid and daptomycin were determined by broth microdilution method, and their MIC50, MIC90, and geometric mean MIC were calculated.

Results: All 407 MRSA strains were sensitive to these four antibacterials. MIC range of vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid and daptomycin was 0.25 to 2 mg/L, 0.125 to 4 mg/L, 0.25 to 4 mg/L and 0.06 to 1 mg/L, respectively. Between 2018 and 2020, there was no "MIC creep" in vancomycin, teicoplanin and daptomycin. The geometric mean MIC of linezolid was not increased, but both MIC50 and MIC90 in 2019 and 2020 MRSA isolates were higher than 2018 isolates.

Conclusion: All MRSA isolates remained sensitivity to vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid and daptomycin. The linezolid MIC50 and MIC90 increased have been found in this study.
