Incidence, epidemiology, and characteristics of quinolone-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae in Croatia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Among 585 Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated in 22 Croatian hospitals 21 strains (3.6%) were quinolone nonsusceptible. MICs of all quinolones were high for seven strains tested with the same serotype (23F) and mutations in gyrA, parC, and parE. The remaining 14 strains were more heterogeneous and had mutations only in parC and/or parE, and the MICs of quinolones were lower for these strains.

Prevalence, characteristics, and molecular epidemiology of macrolide and fluoroquinolone resistance in clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae at five tertiary-care hospitals in Korea.
The genes erm(B), mef(A), and both erm(B) and mef(A) were identified in 42.6, 10.1, and 47.3%, respectively, of the erythromycin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates. Of the strains, 3.8% were nonsusceptible to levofloxacin and had 1 to 6 amino acid changes in the quinolone resistance-determining region, including a new mutation, Asn94Ser, in the product of parC. Levofloxacin with reserp...
متن کاملThe molecular epidemiology of Streptococcus pneumoniae with quinolone resistance mutations.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of fluoroquinolone resistance and quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) mutations among Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates in the United States during the period of 2001-2002. A second objective was to examine the genetic relatedness of pneumococcal isolates with parC and/or gyrA mutations during the period of 1994-200...
متن کاملEpidemiology of Serotype 1 Invasive Pneumococcal Disease, South Africa, 2003-2013.
In South Africa, 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) was introduced in April 2009 and replaced with 13-valent PCV in April 2011. We describe the epidemiology of serotype 1 Streptococcus pneumoniae disease during the pre- and post-PCV eras (2003-2013). Using laboratory-based invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) surveillance, we calculated annual incidences, identified IPD clusters, and ...
متن کاملActivity of the new quinolones WCK 771, WCK 1152 and WCK 1153 against clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes.
OBJECTIVES AND METHODS The new fluoroquinolones WCK 771, WCK 1152 and WCK 1153 were developed to overcome quinolone resistance in Gram-positive bacteria. The activity of these new quinolones was tested against 159 clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae and 52 clinical isolates of Streptococcus pyogenes using the microbroth dilution method. RESULTS MIC50/MIC90 values (mg/L) of WCK 771, ...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae among children in Greece.
A total of 145 penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae strains were isolated from young carriers in Greece and analyzed by antibiotic susceptibility testing, serotyping, restriction fragment end labeling (RFEL), and penicillin-binding protein (PBP) genotyping. The serotypes 23A and 23F (54%), 19A and 19F (25%), 9V (5%), 15A, 15B, and 15C (4%), 6A and 6B (4%), and 21 (4%) were most pr...
