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 کاملEmergence of macrolide-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes strains in French children.
We studied the antimicrobial susceptibility of 322 Streptococcus pyogenes throat isolates from French children and their serotype and genomic diversity. A total of 22.4% were erythromycin resistant, and 69.4, 4.2, and 26.4% of these isolates harbored ermB, ermA, and mefA, respectively. Increasing resistance in France is mainly associated with a few emm type 28 clones.
متن کاملStreptococcus pyogenes polymyxin B-resistant mutants display enhanced ExPortal integrity.
The ExPortal protein secretion organelle in Streptococcus pyogenes is an anionic phospholipid-containing membrane microdomain enriched in Sec translocons and postsecretion protein biogenesis factors. Polymyxin B binds to and disrupts ExPortal integrity, resulting in defective secretion of several toxins. To gain insight into factors that influence ExPortal organization, a genetic screen was con...
متن کاملClonal relatedness of erythromycin-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes isolates in Germany.
In a nationwide study in Germany, a total of 381 Streptococcus pyogenes were collected. Erythromycin A-resistant strains were characterized for the underlying resistance genotype, showing 55.6% had the efflux type mef(A), 31.5% had erm(A), and 13.0% had erm(B). A total of 23 different multilocus sequence types were observed.
متن کاملAntimicrobial Drug Use and Macrolide-Resistant Streptococcus pyogenes, Belgium
In Belgium, decreasing macrolide, lincosamide, streptogramins B, and tetracycline use during 1997-2007 correlated significantly with decreasing macrolide-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes during 1999-2009. Maintaining drug use below a critical threshold corresponded with low-level macrolide-resistant S. pyogenes and an increased number of erm(A)-harboring emm77 S. pyogenes with low fitness costs.
