Assessment Questions Invasive Group A Streptococcus DOES NOT include which of the following? Bacteremia Necrotizing fasciitis Pharyngitis Meningitis The incidence of Group A Streptococcus has not changed in recent years True False There are _____ emm types, which can vary based on region and other factors <50 50-75 75-100 >100
Streptococcus Classification Based on Lancefield grouping Groups A – O and others Group A Streptococcus refers to Streptococcus pyogenes Can be further subdivided based on emm type Gene that encodes the M protein Morphology Beta hemolytic gram positive cocci Grow in chains Most typical reservoirs are the skin and mucus membranes Oropharynx colonization Typical bacteria in pharyngitis and tonsillopharyngitis Easily treated with penicillins and other beta-lactams
emm Types and Clusters emm typing emm gene encodes for the M protein M protein is major virulence factor of Group A Streptococcus Classified by sequencing the 5’ end of the emm gene Emm types are assigned for more drastic changes within the first 30 codons encoding the mature M protein Over 200 emm types Different emm types are associated with invasive infections, resistance and regional prevalence Possible vaccine development Clusters emm types are predictive of related emm type clusters Clusters are indicative of M proteins that share important functional properties
Invasive Group A Streptococcus Defined as an isolation of Group A Streptococcus in a site that would normally be sterile Bacteremia Endocarditis Pneumonia Meningitis Necrotizing fasciitis Toxic shock syndrome Overall outcomes 2017: CDC estimated 1,980 deaths
Incidence of Invasive Streptococcus Overall 3.2 cases per 100,000 in 2000 4.0 cases per 100,000 in 2010 5.8 cases per 100,000 in 2016 Alaska 5.8 cases per 100,000 in 2000-13 7.7 cases per 100,000 in 2014 12.3 cases per 100,000 in 2015 2016 - outbreak in homeless population
Treatment Intravenous treatment: There has never been a reported Penicillin G case of penicillin resistance Cefazolin Ceftriaxone Addition of clindamycin provides Oral options: additional benefit Penicillin VK Mortality reduction Ampicillin Cephalexin Increasing macrolide resistance Clindamycin Penicillin allergy: Macrolides Clindamycin Vancomycin
Study Objectives We aimed to analyze data collected from 2004 – 2017 to determine if there were significant differences in antibiotic resistance according to the drug, demographics and emm type.
Methodology Invasive Group A Streptococcus surveillance Upon identification, isolates are sent to the CDC branch in Anchorage for: Susceptibility testing Penicillin, Cefotaxime, Levofloxacin, Erythromycin, Tetracycline emm typing Demographic information Clinical data Data Analysis Analyzed data using a Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression Fisher’s exact test was used on small number when the likelihood ratio chi -square test was no longer appropriate
Results Baseline characteristics of affected population People with infections were more likely to be Alaska Native or older than 65 years old Based on comparison to general Alaska population 845 invasive Group A Streptococcus isolates reported 134 were removed due to unknown susceptibilities 141 resistant isolates 19.8% were resistant to at least one antibiotic 14.9% were resistant to erythromycin 17.2% were resistant to tetracycline 12.3% were resistant to both No isolates were resistant to penicillin or cefotaxime

Demographic Risk Factors for Resistance Univariate and multivariate analysis was conducted separately for tetracycline and erythromycin Results were very similar For both tetracycline and erythromycin In the univariate analysis (p<0.01): Alaska Native/American Indian race emm type In the multivariate analysis (p<0.0001): emm type (p<0.0001) Resistance was not associated with any demographic factors Race Sex Age Urban location

Conclusion Overall Trend Significant increase in incidence of invasive Group A Streptococcus Demographics Race, age, sex and urban location were not associated with antibiotic resistant infections Resistance No significant increase in resistance over all years 4 of 6 clusters showed significant susceptibility to tetracycline and erythromycin E6 cluster was associated with antibiotic resistance to tetracycline and erythromycin Largely attributable to emm 11 Future opportunities Comparing emm types by region Identifying possible patterns in fluctuations of emm types
