Evaluation of innovative surveillance for drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae.
To monitor disease incidence and antibiotic resistance, effective, practical surveillance strategies are needed at the local level for drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (DRSP). Knox County, Tennessee, participates in three forms of DRSP surveillance: an active system sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC; Atlanta, Georgia); a novel county-sponsored system; and c...
متن کاملDrug-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...

Conference Summary Drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Surveillance 1 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened a conference on March 12–13, 2003, in Atlanta, Georgia, to discuss improving state-based surveillance of drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (DRSP) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The C...
متن کاملTracking drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in Oregon: an alternative surveillance method.
With the emergence of drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, community-specific antimicrobial susceptibility patterns have become valuable determinants of empiric therapy for S. pneumoniae infections. Traditionally, these patterns are tracked by active surveillance for invasive disease, collection of isolates, and centralized susceptibility testing. We investigated whether a simpler and less ...
متن کاملAggregated Antibiograms and Monitoring of Drug-Resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae
Community-specific antimicrobial susceptibility data may help monitor trends among drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and guide empiric therapy. Because active, population-based surveillance for invasive pneumococcal disease is accurate but resource intensive, we compared the proportion of penicillin-nonsusceptible isolates obtained from existing antibiograms, a less expensive system, to t...
