Nasopharyngeal carriage of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae among children with acute respiratory tract infections in Thailand: a molecular epidemiological survey.
The prevalence of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in Thailand has dramatically increased over the last decade. During a national survey, which was conducted from 1992 to 1994, 37.2% of the pneumococci isolated from the nasopharynges of children with acute respiratory tract infections were penicillin resistant (MIC, >/=0.1 microg/ml). In order to investigate the prevalence and clon...
متن کاملNasopharyngeal carriage of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in healthy children.
Streptococcus pneumoniae carriage is a risk factor for the development of respiratory system infections and the spread of penicillin-resistant strains. The aim of this study was to investigate nasopharyngeal carriage of S. pneumoniae in healthy children and resistance to penicillin and other antimicrobials and to assess related risk factors. Nasopharyngeal specimens collected from healthy child...
متن کاملCarriage of penicillin resistant pneumococci.
A survey of 303 urban and 156 rural children showed nasopharyngeal carriage of relatively resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae organisms in 14.2% and 19.2% of children, respectively. These organisms have minimum inhibitory concentrations for penicillin in the range of 0.12-1 microgram/ml. An analysis of 40 relatively resistant S. pneumoniae strains showed resistance to co-trimoxazole in 47.5%, tr...
متن کاملEpidemiological and clinical evaluation of children with respiratory virus infections
Background :Respiratory viruses are the leading cause of respiratory tract infections among children and are responsible for causing morbidity and mortality worldwide. This study was performed to detect viruses in children with respiratory infections and describe their epidemiology and clinical characteristics. Methods : In this descriptive cross sectional study, throat swabs and wash speci...
متن کاملPenicillin-resistant and penicillin-tolerant mutants of group A Streptococci.
Penicillin-resistant and penicillin-tolerant mutants have been isolated from group A streptococci mutagenized by ethyl methane sulfonate. The resistant mutants had an elevated minimal growth inhibitory concentration for benzylpenicillin (minimal inhibitory concentration, 0.2 microgram/ml, as compared with the minimal inhibitory concentration of 0.006 microgram/ml in the penicillin-susceptible p...
