Drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Streptococcus pneumoniae remains a major cause of infection in both children and adults, annually resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. The past two decades have seen an alarming worldwide increase in the incidence of drug-resistant S. pneumoniae (DRSP). DRSP is now common throughout the United States, and physicians are questioning how best to approach this epidemic. With the intro...

متن کاملOptochin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity at the extremes of age. With increasing antibiotic resistance, its accurate early identification is important for initial management [1]. Its identification in clinical laboratories relies on colony morphology, α-haemolysis on blood agar, and optochin susceptibility. The bile solubility test, although simpl...
متن کاملPenicillin-resistant Streptococcus Pneumoniae
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of pneumonia, meningitis, septicemia, acute otitis media, and other serious infections, severely affecting infants, young children, and the elderly. In the past, S. pneumoniae was uniformly susceptible to penicillin, which remained the drug of choice for serious infections.
