[Prevalence of serotypes and antimicrobial resistance of invasive strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae].
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of serotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility of invasive strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae and to discuss the implications of these findings for vaccine formulation. METHODS Strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae obtained from normally sterile fluids from patients admitted with invasive diseases were isolated and identified at the Hospital de Clínicas, Un...
متن کاملAnalysis of invasive pneumonia-causing strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae: serotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility.
OBJECTIVES To identify the most common pneumococcal serotypes in children hospitalized with invasive pneumonia, correlate isolated serotypes with those included in conjugate vaccines, and ascertain the sensitivity of the isolated pneumococcal strains to penicillin and other antibiotics. METHODS From January 2003 to October 2008, a retrospective study of hospitalized children with a diagnosis ...
متن کاملSerotypes and antimicrobial susceptibilities of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from hospitalized patients in Thailand.
Two hundred seven Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates were obtained from patients admitted to Siriraj Hospital. One hundred two, and 105 isolates were from sterile sites and non-sterile sites, respectively. They were serotyped by Quellung reaction with specific antisera from Statens Serum Institut; 81.6% of these pneumococci were typeable. These serotypes were included in the 23-valent pneumococc...
متن کاملEmerging resistant serotypes of invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae
BACKGROUND Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of meningitis and sepsis. The aim of the study was to analyze the distribution, vaccine serotype coverage, and antibiotic resistance of S. pneumoniae serotypes isolated from patients with invasive diseases, after the introduction of pneumococcal 7-valent conjugated vaccine (PCV-7). METHODS A total of 134 isolates were collected from blo...
متن کاملChanges in serotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility of invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae strains in Cleveland: a quarter century of experience.
The serotypes and susceptibilities to penicillin, macrolides, and clindamycin of 1,655 invasive isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae recovered between 1979 and 2004 were determined. A precipitous decrease of 61% in the number of isolates was found following 2000, the year of 7-valent protein-conjugated pneumococcal vaccine (PCV7) introduction (139 versus 55 per 2-year period prior to versus aft...
