Penicillin-resistant Streptococcus Pneumoniae
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of pneumonia, meningitis, septicemia, acute otitis media, and other serious infections, severely affecting infants, young children, and the elderly. In the past, S. pneumoniae was uniformly susceptible to penicillin, which remained the drug of choice for serious infections. However, since the mid-1960s, resistance to penicillin, which was first reported...
متن کاملThe clinical relevance of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae: a new perspective.
Streptococcus pneumoniae remains the most commonly identified cause of community acquired pneumonia (CAP), despite the emergence of newly identified pathogens. It accounts for approximately two-thirds of cases in which an etiological diagnosis has been made, as well as for two-thirds of the cases of bacteremia [1]. It is paramount, therefore, that empirical therapy for CAP be optimal for S. pne...

متن کاملClonal distribution of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae 23F in France.
We studied the clonality of clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae 23F, the serotype most often associated with penicillin resistance in France. Clinical isolates obtained between November 1992 and April 1993 from nasopharyngeal samples from children with acute otitis media from different regions of the country were analyzed. The genetic polymorphism of penicillin-susceptible and -resist...
متن کاملNasopharyngeal 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...
