Antibiotic resistance patterns of group B streptococci in pregnant women.
This study examined the antibiotic resistance patterns of group B streptococci (GBS) isolated from gravid women. A total of 156 vaginal and cervical isolates of GBS were examined for resistance to penicillin, ampicillin, clindamycin, cefoxitin, gentamicin, and erythromicin. No resistance to penicillin or ampicillin was found, nor was penicillinase production demonstrated. A high level of resist...
متن کاملPresumptive identification & antibiotic susceptibility of group B Streptococci.
Three presumptive identification tests were conducted on 60 strains of beta haemolytic group B streptococci (GBS) & evaluated for their sensitivity as compared to the standard serological grouping. The GBS were further subjected to serotyping and antibiotic sensitivity testing. Hippurate was hydrolysed by 96.6%, the CAMP test was positive in 83.3% & pigment was produced by 95%. The commonest se...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibilities of group B streptococci isolated from patients with invasive disease: 10-year perspective.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of 192 group B streptococcal isolates from patients with invasive disease demonstrated that 31 (16%) were resistant to erythromycin and 17 (9%) were resistant to clindamycin. One isolate demonstrated high-level resistance to streptomycin, but none was highly resistant to gentamicin. Erythromycin and clindamycin are no longer reliable empirical alternatives t...
متن کاملGroup B streptococci--gastrointestinal organisms?
Matched perianal swabs, rectal swabs, and faecal samples from a group of male homosexual patients attending a clinic for sexually transmitted disease were examined for the presence of group B streptococci (GBS). GBS recovery rates were as follows: perianal skin 31/115 (27%), rectal mucosa 18/72 (25%) and faeces 7/115 (6%). The recovery of GBS from faeces was similar to that obtained from faecal...
متن کاملcapsular serotype and antibiotic resistance of group b streptococci isolated from pregnant women in ardabil, iran.
background and objectives: group b streptococci (gbs) is a major cause of neonatal and maternal infections. the aim of this study was to determine the serotype distribution and antibiotic resistance profile of gbs strains isolated from pregnant women in ardabil. materials and methods: antibiotic resistance of 56 gbs isolates was investigated using e-test strips and disk-diffusion method. seroty...
