“…23 Of the eight reported eyes with MRSA SRA that underwent a vitreous culture, only one had a positive vitreous culture. 7 It is therefore likely that in cases of bacterial SRA, causative bacteria may be localized to the region of the SRA alone, and vitritis may represent an inflammatory reaction to bacterial toxins.…”

Purpose: To report a case of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus subretinal abscess that continued to progress, despite intravitreal and systemic antibiotic therapy.Methods: Retrospective chart review of a 77-year-old female patient with well-controlled diabetes mellitus who developed a left eye endophthalmitis and subretinal abscess from methicillin-resistant S. aureus colonization in the absence of any systemic focus of infection.Results: The abscess and endophthalmitis resolved after the second pars plana vitrectomy that included drainage of a subretinal abscess after the failure of initial pars plana vitrectomy, and intravitreal and systemic antibiotics. Retinal detachment due to proliferative vitreoretinopathy necessitated the third pars plana vitrectomy 2 weeks after the second pars plana vitrectomy. Conclusion:The authors present an unusual case of methicillin-resistant S. aureus subretinal abscess in a patient with methicillin-resistant S. aureus colonization with negative blood, aqueous humor culture, and vitreous culture but a positive culture from subretinal aspirate.

“…S. aureus pathogenicity is due to multiple virulence factors that drive local damage and metastatic spread of bacteria from a primary site. Secondary endophthalmitis [ 7 , 8 ], vertebral osteomyelitis [ 9 ], and endocarditis [ 10 ] are classical metastatic infections of S. aureus bacteremia. Hematogenous dissemination to the peritoneum from a peripheral or central intravenous catheter is an uncommon but potential source of infection for patients on PD.…”

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium commonly associated with severe infections in hospitalized patients. S. aureus produces many virulence factors leading to local and distant pathological processes. Invasiveness of S. aureus generally induces metastatic infections such as bacteremia, infective endocarditis, osteomyelitis, arthritis, and endophthalmitis. Peritoneal localization from extra-abdominal infection can be a potential consequence of S. aureus infection. Two cases of metastatic peritonitis have been described in patients on peritoneal dialysis with concomitant peripheral vascular catheter-related bloodstream infection. We reported a case of peritoneal metastatic infection caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in a patient on maintenance hemodialysis. A 37-year-old man was admitted with fever and chill due to jugular central vascular catheter (CVC)-related bloodstream infection caused by MRSA. CVC was placed after switching the patient from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis for scarce adherence to fluid restriction. Detection of MRSA on the peritoneal effluent combined with a total white blood cell count of 554 cells/mm3 prompted the diagnosis of satellite MRSA peritonitis. Antibiotic treatment with daptomycin and simultaneous CVC and peritoneal catheter removal resolved the infectious process. No further metastatic localizations were detected elsewhere. In conclusion, S. aureus can induce metastatic infections far from the site of primary infection. As reported in this case, peritonitis can be secondary to the hematogenous dissemination of S. aureus especially in hospitalized patients having a central line.

“…The natural habitat of Staphylococcus aureus in humans is the skin and nasopharynx. It can cause a wide variety of infections involving skin and soft tissues, endovascular sites and internal organs [16]. Bacillus subtilis also known as the hay bacillus or grass bacillus, is a Grampositive bacterium.…”

Argemone mexicana L is one of the medicinal plants used traditionally for its curative properties. The observed activities could be due to the presence of phytochemicals present in the plant. The purpose of this study is to carry out the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the constituent phytochemicals of Ethanol and aqueous extracts of the leaves of the plant as well as determine its microbial activities against some selected bacteria and fungi. Results showed that alkaloid is present in both ethanol and aqueous samples. Terpenoid is present in aqueous sample but abundantly present in ethanol sample. Phenol is present in aqueous sample but abundantly present in ethanol sample. Steroids are present in ethanol sample but absent in aqueous sample. While anthraquinones are present in the aqueous sample, the quantity is not much compared with what was obtained from the ethanol sample. Cardiac glycoside is absent in both samples but flavonoid is present in both samples. It was observed that saponins and tannins were abundantly present in the ethanol extract but not much in the aqueous extract. The results of the quantitative analysis showed that for aqueous extract, alkaloid is 9.5 % w/w, flavonoid (0.36% w/w), saponin (4.7%w/w), tannin (0.1% w/w) terpenoid (0.45 w/w) and total phenol (0.65% w/w). For ethanol extract it was alkaloid (9.7 %w/w), flavonoid (1.59% w/w), saponin (6.3% w/w), tannin (1.06% w/w), terpenoid (0.75% w/w) and total phenol (0.74% w/w). The MIC and MBC measured in µg/mL of ethanol and aqueous samples against Staphylococcus aureus were (3.125:6.25) and (12.5:12.5) respectively. Bacillus subtilis (25:25) and (25;25), Escherichia coil (6.25: 25) and (12.5: 50), Salmonella typhi (>50: 25) and (6.25: 12.5), Klebsiella pneumonia (12.5:25) and (1.56:6.25), Pseudomonas aeruginosal (50:50) and (3.125:6.25), Tricophytum rubrum (25:25) and (3.125: 3.125), Candida albican (25:25) and (6.25:12.5) respectively. All Our study showed that the plant has high potential as an antifungal and antibacterial agent.
