## Abstract ## Abstract {-}
For years, coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) were not considered a cause of bloodstream infections (BSIs) and were often regarded as contamination. However, the association of CoNS with nosocomial infections is increasingly recognised in research and clinical practice. At present, the CoNS group consists of 45 different species. Their identification has mainly been driven by the introduction of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. Yet, treatment guidelines consider CoNS as a whole group and rarely differentiate between species, despite increasing antibiotic resistance (ABR) in CoNS. Therefore, this retrospective study provides an in-depth analysis of CoNS isolates and their ABR profiles found in blood culture isolates between 2013 and 2019 in a novel full-region approach including the entire region of the Northern Netherlands. In total, 10,796 patients were included that were hospitalised in one of the 15 hospitals in the region leading to a sample of 14,992 first CoNS isolates for (ABR) data analysis. CoNS accounted for 27.6% of all available 71,632 blood culture isolates. EUCAST Expert rules were applied to correct for errors in antibiotic test results. A total of 27 different species were found. Major differences were observed in the occurrence and ABR profiles of the different species. The top five species covered 97.1% of all included isolates: *S. epidermidis* (48.4%), *S. hominis* (33.6%), *S. capitis* (9.3%), *S. haemolyticus* (4.1%), and *S. warneri* (1.7%). Regarding ABR, *S. epidermidis* and *S. haemolyticus* showed 50-80% resistance to teicoplanin and macrolides while resistance to these agents remained lower than 10% in most other CoNS species. Yet, such differences are neglected in national guideline development causing a focus on ‘ABR-safe’ agents such as glycopeptides. Nonetheless, other agents could be considered viable options for some species where ABR never surpassed 10%. In conclusion, a multi-year, full-region approach to extensively assess the trends in both the occurrence and AMR of CoNS species was carried out which could be used for evaluating treatment policies and understanding more about these important but still too often neglected pathogens.

<h2><span class="header-section-number">7.1</span> Abstract</h2> <h2>Abstract</h2>
<p>For years, coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) were not considered a cause of bloodstream infections (BSIs) and were often regarded as contamination. However, the association of CoNS with nosocomial infections is increasingly recognised in research and clinical practice. At present, the CoNS group consists of 45 different species. Their identification has mainly been driven by the introduction of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. Yet, treatment guidelines consider CoNS as a whole group and rarely differentiate between species, despite increasing antibiotic resistance (ABR) in CoNS. Therefore, this retrospective study provides an in-depth analysis of CoNS isolates and their ABR profiles found in blood culture isolates between 2013 and 2019 in a novel full-region approach including the entire region of the Northern Netherlands. In total, 10,796 patients were included that were hospitalised in one of the 15 hospitals in the region leading to a sample of 14,992 first CoNS isolates for (ABR) data analysis. CoNS accounted for 27.6% of all available 71,632 blood culture isolates. EUCAST Expert rules were applied to correct for errors in antibiotic test results. A total of 27 different species were found. Major differences were observed in the occurrence and ABR profiles of the different species. The top five species covered 97.1% of all included isolates: <em>S. epidermidis</em> (48.4%), <em>S. hominis</em> (33.6%), <em>S. capitis</em> (9.3%), <em>S. haemolyticus</em> (4.1%), and <em>S. warneri</em> (1.7%). Regarding ABR, <em>S. epidermidis</em> and <em>S. haemolyticus</em> showed 50-80% resistance to teicoplanin and macrolides while resistance to these agents remained lower than 10% in most other CoNS species. Yet, such differences are neglected in national guideline development causing a focus on ‘ABR-safe’ agents such as glycopeptides. Nonetheless, other agents could be considered viable options for some species where ABR never surpassed 10%. In conclusion, a multi-year, full-region approach to extensively assess the trends in both the occurrence and AMR of CoNS species was carried out which could be used for evaluating treatment policies and understanding more about these important but still too often neglected pathogens.</p> <p>For years, coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) were not considered a cause of bloodstream infections (BSIs) and were often regarded as contamination.

<p>Sepsis is a syndrome of physiologic, pathologic, and biochemical abnormalities induced by bloodstream infections (BSIs). It is the most frequent cause of death in hospitalised patients and has been recognised by the WHO as a global health priority <sup>[1,2]</sup>. For years, coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) were not considered a cause of BSIs and were often regarded as contamination <sup>[3]</sup>. Yet, it has been shown that CoNS can cause BSIs and a high mortality rate <sup>[4,5]</sup>, especially in immunocompromised patients and newborns <sup>[6,7]</sup>. Moreover, CoNS have become increasingly associated with nosocomial infections <sup>[8]</sup>. This is attributed to (i) an increase of multimorbid and immunocompromised patients that are more prone to infections, (ii) the increased use of inserted foreign body material in modern medicine, and (iii) the property of CoNS to adapt molecularly to the hospital environment by diverging into new strains <sup>[8,9]</sup>.

It is the most frequent cause of death in hospitalised patients and has been recognised by the WHO as a global health priority <sup>[1,2]</sup>. For years, coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) were not considered a cause of BSIs and were often regarded as contamination <sup>[3]</sup>.

<p>At present, the CoNS group consists of 45 different species <sup>[11]</sup>. This group is highly heterogeneous in its prevalence in humans and, more importantly, its antibiotic resistance (ABR) patterns. Zooming in on CoNS at the species level is therefore useful to evaluate treatment options for CoNS causing BSI. The clinical interpretation and relevance of BSIs caused by CoNS are dependent on the determination at the species level, since not all species in the CoNS group are pathogenic and associated with sepsis or (other) nosocomial infections <sup>[8,12]</sup>. While the microbiological diagnosis of BSIs has for decades been based on blood samples cultivated in automated blood-culture systems, molecular and mass spectrometry (MS) approaches enable more reliable microbiological diagnosis <sup>[13,14]</sup>. Since 2012, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) MS has become a standard for the identification of bacterial species and has, together with sequencing approaches, led to a rapid discovery of new species compared to formerly used techniques <sup>[15,16]</sup>. Prior to the use of MALDI-TOF MS, identification of CoNS was primarily performed with biochemical and physiological tests, which yielded variable results, particularly in less prevalent species <sup>[16]</sup>. Examples include <em>S. warneri</em>, <em>S. auricularis</em>, <em>S. capitis</em>, and other CoNS species that primarily colonise the skin of animals or are found on food products <sup>[17]</sup>. Due to less specific traditional test techniques, previously reported prevalences and ABR patterns of specific species in the CoNS group may have been unreliable or under-evaluated. Consequently, identification using MALDI-TOF MS has become crucial to analyse species-specific ABR.</p> <p>At present, the CoNS group consists of 45 different species <sup>[11]</sup>.

<p>ABR is a global healthcare problem and of great concern in the antibiotic therapy of BSIs. This also applies to the CoNS group where multi-drug resistance is common in species circulating in hospitals <sup>[18]</sup>. The rise of beta-lactam resistance in CoNS species has led to vancomycin as a first-line therapy against CoNS-mediated BSI in many countries, even though information about the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of vancomycin against CoNS is limited <sup>[5,19–21]</sup>. To assess the constant change of ABR in CoNS, geo-spatial and temporal analyses of ABR are required.</p> <p>ABR is a global healthcare problem and of great concern in the antibiotic therapy of BSIs.

<p>Before MALDI-TOF MS, CoNS were often reported without the species name as formerly used techniques were not able to reliably discriminate species <sup>[16]</sup>. The ratio of all CoNS species presented in the current study (Table 2) shows that five species accounted for 97.1% of all 27 found CoNS species with <em>S. epidermidis</em> accounting for the largest subgroup (48.4%, n = 7,260). This distribution of species largely confirms results by previous reports <sup>[9,29]</sup>.</p> <p>Before MALDI-TOF MS, CoNS were often reported without the species name as formerly used techniques were not able to reliably discriminate species <sup>[16]</sup>.

This distribution of species largely confirms results by previous reports <sup>[9,29]</sup>.</p>
<p>For most CoNS species, pathogenicity has not been studied widely due to the lack of data. For this reason, we defined CoNS persistence as at least three positive blood cultures drawn on three different days within 60 days, containing the same CoNS species. This definition was applied for two reasons. Firstly, it rules out contamination since the chance of finding the same contaminating species three times on three different days is expected to be low. Secondly, it prevents underestimating the possible pathogenicity of CoNS species since three sequential findings indicate CoNS persistence. In total, 294 different cases of CoNS persistence were identified (Table 3) among the 10,786 included patients. <em>S. haemolyticus</em> was found to be proportionally more associated with CoNS persistence (5.8%) than <em>S. epidermidis</em> (3.7%) and <em>S. hominis</em> (0.9%), although the latter two were eight to ten times more prevalent than <em>S. haemolyticus</em>. <em>S. epidermidis</em> has widely been recognised as a pathogen and an important cause of BSIs <sup>[5,30]</sup>. It was probably found more often than <em>S. haemolyticus</em> due to its stronger association with skin colonisation <sup>[8]</sup> although we could not confirm this finding. It has been reported that <em>S. haemolyticus</em> is an emerging threat and one of the most frequent aetiological factors of staphylococcal infections <sup>[9,31]</sup>. Adding to this worrisome trend is the great concern of ABR in <em>S. haemolyticus</em> which was reported with 75% of analysed <em>S. haemolyticus</em> isolates to be multi-resistant <sup>[32]</sup>. We confirmed this in the present study in which the ABR analysis showed that 72.1% of <em>S. haemolyticus</em> isolates were resistant to oxacillin and 77.6% resistant to macrolides.</p> <p>For most CoNS species, pathogenicity has not been studied widely due to the lack of data. For this reason, we defined CoNS persistence as at least three positive blood cultures drawn on three different days within 60 days, containing the same CoNS species. This definition was applied for two reasons. Firstly, it rules out contamination since the chance of finding the same contaminating species three times on three different days is expected to be low. Secondly, it prevents underestimating the possible pathogenicity of CoNS species since three sequential findings indicate CoNS persistence. In total, 294 different cases of CoNS persistence were identified (Table 3) among the 10,786 included patients. <em>S. haemolyticus</em> was found to be proportionally more associated with CoNS persistence (5.8%) than <em>S. epidermidis</em> (3.7%) and <em>S. hominis</em> (0.9%), although the latter two were eight to ten times more prevalent than <em>S. haemolyticus</em>. <em>S. epidermidis</em> has widely been recognised as a pathogen and an important cause of BSIs <sup>[5,30]</sup>.
