Comparison 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...
متن کاملPredicting susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae to ceftriaxone and cefotaxime by cefuroxime and ceftizoxime disk diffusion testing.
In this study, disk diffusion testing with ceftizoxime and cefuroxime was evaluated for use in predicting the susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae to ceftriaxone and cefotaxime. Of the 194 isolates included in this study, 138 were susceptible, 34 were intermediate, and 22 were resistant to cefotaxime by MIC testing; 138 isolates were susceptible, 35 were intermediate, and 21 were resistan...
متن کاملDrawbacks of antibiotic susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
During 10 years penicillin resistance among clinical isolates of S. pneumoniae was more or less stable. The cumulative proportion of penicillin non susceptible S. pneumoniae (PNSP) was 13.0%; 7.2% when isolates with MIC = 2 mg/l were considered. Among PNSP only 2 strains were isolated from sterile body fluids, one having MIC >3.84 mg/l. Lack of susceptibility to cotrimoxazole was 38.4%. All iso...

متن کاملAntimicrobial Susceptibility/Resistance of Streptococcus Pneumoniae
INTRODUCTION Pneumococcal infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, whose treatment is threatened with an increase in the number of strains resistant to antibiotic therapy. GOAL The main goal of this research was to investigate the presence of antimicrobial susceptibility/resistance of S. pneumoniae. MATERIAL AND METHODS Taken are swabs of the nose and nasopharynx, ...
