Limited Spread of Penicillin-Nonsusceptible Pneumococci, Skåne County, Sweden
In response to increasing frequencies of penicillin-nonsusceptible pneumococci (PNSP), for which the MIC of penicillin was >0.12 mg/L, in Skåne County, southern Sweden, national recommendations were initiated in 1995 to limit the spread of pneumococci with high MICs (> or =0.5 mg/L) of penicillin (PRP), especially among children of preschool age. Traditional communicable disease control measure...
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 کاملClonal groups of penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae in Baltimore, Maryland: a population-based, molecular epidemiologic study.
Few data are available on the molecular subtypes of all penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSP) from a defined population base. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), serotyping, and antibiotic susceptibility testing were performed for all available invasive PNSP isolates for which the penicillin (MIC) was > or =0.1 microg/ml from Baltimore, Md., during 1995-1996 (n = 143). ...
متن کاملScreening pneumococci for penicillin resistance.
Eighty-four pneumococci with various MICs of penicillin (38 with MICs of less than or equal to 0.06 micrograms/ml [susceptible], 35 with MICs of 0.12 to 1.0 micrograms/ml [relatively resistant], and 11 with MICs of greater than 1.0 micrograms/ml [resistant] ) were screened by a disk diffusion test using oxacillin and methicillin to see how well they distinguished penicillin-susceptible strains ...
متن کاملSusceptibility of recently collected Spanish pneumococci nonsusceptible to oral penicillin from serotypes not included in the 7-valent conjugate vaccine.
The susceptibilities of pneumococci recently collected (up to June 2009) in Spain (500 isolates nonsusceptible to oral penicillin and 150 susceptible isolates) from serotypes not included in the conjugate vaccine were determined. Most nonsusceptible isolates (53.6%) belonged to serotype 19A. Susceptibility rates in serotype 19A penicillin-intermediate (n = 201)/penicillin-resistant (n = 67) iso...
