Antimicrobial Susceptibility/Resistance of Streptococcus Pneumoniae
INTRODUCTION Pneumococcal infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, whose treatment is threatened with an increase in the number of strains resistant to antibiotic therapy. GOAL The main goal of this research was to investigate the presence of antimicrobial susceptibility/resistance of S. pneumoniae. MATERIAL AND METHODS Taken are swabs of the nose and nasopharynx, ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility and analysis of macrolide resistance genes in Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated in Hamadan
Objective(s): Macrolide resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae pose an emerging problem globally. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of ermB and mefA genes (macrolide resistant genes) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and to detect drug resistance patterns of S. pneumoniae isolated from clinical samples to macrolides and other antibiotic agents by E-test method. Materia...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates causing meningitis in The Netherlands, 1993-1994.
The increasing antimicrobial resistance among pathogens frequently isolated from patients with bacterial meningitis formed the rationale to perform a surveillance study to determine the prevalence of resistance in The Netherlands. Haemophilus influenzae strains (n = 316) isolated from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), 1125 meningococcal strains isolated from blood or CSF and 398 pneumococcal strains i...

results in total, 73 isolates were collected and diagnosed as s. pneumoniae. isolates were susceptible to ofloxacin 95.9%, vancomycin 93%, penicillin 78%, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 61.6%, ceftriaxone 53.5%, meropenem 52%, cefotaxime 46.5%, and erythromycin 8.2%. of the 15 prsp isolates, the pbp2b gene was identified in 12 (80%). in 1 penicillin-intermediate s. pneumoniae isolate the pbp2b w...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility and serotype distribution of Streptococcus pneumoniae causing meningitis in Egypt, 1998-2003.
OBJECTIVES To determine the antimicrobial susceptibility and serotype distribution of 205 isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae, collected from the CSF of meningitis patients identified between 1998-2003, during sentinel meningitis surveillance in Egypt. METHODS Antimicrobial susceptibility was evaluated against six antibiotics using disc diffusion and Etest methods. Serotyping was performed b...
