Nasopharyngeal carriage of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in healthy children.
Streptococcus pneumoniae carriage is a risk factor for the development of respiratory system infections and the spread of penicillin-resistant strains. The aim of this study was to investigate nasopharyngeal carriage of S. pneumoniae in healthy children and resistance to penicillin and other antimicrobials and to assess related risk factors. Nasopharyngeal specimens collected from healthy child...
متن کاملExtremely high prevalence of nasopharyngeal carriage of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae among children in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Resistance (intermediate and high) to penicillin among Streptococcus pneumoniae strains is an emerging problem worldwide. From 1995 to 1997, isolates of S. pneumoniae not susceptible to penicillin were seen with increasing frequency from blood, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, and middle ear fluid from pediatric patients at the Veterans General Hospital-Kaohsiung. To determine the prevalence...
متن کاملNasopharyngeal carriage of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in children with sickle cell disease.
OBJECTIVE We studied the prevalence of nasopharyngeal (NP) carriage, antimicrobial susceptibilities, and serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) in the Mid-South. In addition, we examined risk factors for NP carriage of penicillin-resistant SP (PRSP). STUDY DESIGN Between July 1994 and December 1995, we obtained NP cultures from 312 children with ...
متن کاملRate of nasopharyngeal carriage, antimicrobial resistance and serotype of Streptococcus pneumoniae among children in northern Taiwan.
Multiple-antibiotic-resistant strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae are isolated from clinical specimens in Taiwan with increasing frequency. This study aimed to define the carriage rate of S. pneumoniae among children in northern Taiwan, and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility and the serotype incidence of these isolates. Nasopharyngeal swabs were taken from a total of 478 children (age, ...
متن کاملNasopharyngeal Carriage and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns of Streptococcus pneumoniae among Children under Five in Southwest Ethiopia
Nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae is found to play an important role in the development and transmission of pneumococcal diseases. In this study, we assessed the nasopharyngeal carriage, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and associated risk factors of S. pneumoniae among children under five. A total of 361 children under five attending the outpatient department of Shanan G...
