PURPOSE: Increasing evidence has suggested that metformin may play positive roles in a wide range of infectious diseases. This study aimed to investigate the clinical impact of metformin exposure during Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) in patients with diabetes.

METHODS: A 3-year observational cohort study of 452 patients (aged ≥ 16 years) with SAB was performed at a tertiary care hospital. Metformin exposure was defined as receiving metformin during SAB, regardless of metformin use before the onset of bacteremia.

RESULTS: Of 452 patients, 51 (11.3%) were classified in Group A (diabetes with metformin exposure), 115 (25.4%) in Group B (diabetes without metformin exposure), and 286 (63.3%) in Group C (no diabetes). The 30-day mortality rate in Group A was significantly lower than that in Group B (3.9% [2/51] versus 14.8% [17/115]; p = 0.04) and lower than that in Group C (3.9% [2/51] versus 17.1% [49/286]; p = 0.02). The mortality rates did not differ between Group B and Group C (14.8% [17/115] versus 17.1% [49/286]; p = 0.57). The rates of persistent and recurrent bacteremia were comparable among the three groups. Multivariate analysis indicated that metformin exposure was significantly associated with reduced mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 0.20; 95% confidence interval, 0.04-0.88; p = 0.03).

CONCLUSIONS: Metformin exposure during SAB appears to be an independent predictor of survival in patients with diabetes.
