Genetic relatedness within serotypes of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates.
The molecular epidemiological characteristics of all Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated in a nationwide manner from patients with meningitis in The Netherlands in 1994 were investigated. Restriction fragment end labeling analysis demonstrated 52% genetic clustering among these penicillin-susceptible strains, a value substantially lower than the percentage of clustering among Dutch penici...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from Bulgaria.
As part of an ongoing surveillance program of antibiotic-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in Sofia, Bulgaria, 120 penicillin-resistant strains (PRSP) (most of them recovered from children hospitalized with pneumococcal disease) were analyzed by microbiological and molecular methods. Several unique features of this collection are of particular interest. (i) Most isolates (112 of 120) were also...
متن کاملRelationship between capsular type, penicillin susceptibility, and virulence of human Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates in mice.
We examined the relationship between penicillin susceptibility, peritoneal virulence in Swiss mice, and capsular type in a selection of 122 clinical Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates belonging to 24 serotypes. Regardless of the serotype, all 32 virulent strains were susceptible to penicillin, and all 41 strains with diminished susceptibility or resistance to penicillin were avirulent. The remai...
متن کاملPenicillin-binding protein 1A, 2B, and 2X alterations in Canadian isolates of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Alterations within the penicillin-binding domain of penicillin-binding protein (PBP) genes pbp1a, pbp2b, and pbp2x were determined for 15 Canadian isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae. All penicillin-nonsusceptible S. pneumoniae isolates showed a variety of PBP 2X substitutions and contained a Thr445-Ala change after the PBP 2B SSN motif. Only isolates for which penicillin MICs were > or =0.5 m...
متن کاملComparison of susceptibility test methods to detect penicillin susceptibility in Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates.
The increasing prevalence of penicillin-resistant Streptococuus pneumoniae urges for fast and accurate susceptibility testing methods. This study evaluated the comparability of three commonly used techniques; disk diffusion, E-test and agar dilution, to detect penicillin susceptibility in clinical isolates of S. pneumoniae. Fifty pneumococcal isolates, obtained from patients at the University o...
