A New Microarray System to Detect Streptococcus pneumoniae Serotypes
Streptococcus pneumoniae, one of the most common gram-positive pathogens to colonize the human upper respiratory tract, is responsible for many severe infections, including meningitis and bacteremia. A 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine is available to protect against the 23 S. pneumoniae serotypes responsible for 90% of reported bacteremic infections. Unfortunately, current S. pneumoniae serotype ...
متن کاملStability of serotypes during nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Serotype changes among natural isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae are well documented and occur by recombinational exchanges at the capsular biosynthetic locus. However, the frequency with which this phenomenon occurs within the nasopharynx of children is not clear and is likely to be highest in the nasopharynx of children, who have high rates of pneumococcal carriage. A birth cohort of 100 i...
متن کاملAntibiotic susceptibility and serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from Hungary.
OBJECTIVE Hungary has reported one of the highest incidences of penicillin resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae in Europe since the 1970s and is still cited accordingly. However, since the end of the 1990s the resistance of pneumococci in Hungary has not been investigated. In this study we assessed the current situation, particularly to establish whether the incidence of resistance is increas...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance and serotypes of nasopharyngeal strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Brazilian adolescents.
The aim of this study was to describe the frequency of antimicrobial-resistance and serotypes of nasopharyngeal pneumococcal isolates from adolescents. Clinical data and nasopharyngeal specimens for culture were collected from 1,013 adolescents as a part of a population-based study. A total of 83 isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae were identified (8.2%). Seventy-four of the 83 isolates were s...
متن کاملEmerging resistant serotypes of invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae
BACKGROUND Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of meningitis and sepsis. The aim of the study was to analyze the distribution, vaccine serotype coverage, and antibiotic resistance of S. pneumoniae serotypes isolated from patients with invasive diseases, after the introduction of pneumococcal 7-valent conjugated vaccine (PCV-7). METHODS A total of 134 isolates were collected from blo...
