Macrolide-resistant phenotypes of invasive StreptococcuS pneumoniae isolates in serbia
Macrolide resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae has emerged as an important worldwide problem over the past decade. The aim of this study was to investigate macrolide-resistant phenotypes and the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of invasive pneumococci in Serbia. A total of 68 invasive pneumococcal strains, collected from 2009 to 2011, were sent from regional laboratories to the national ...
متن کاملIn-vitro activity of 21 beta-lactam antibiotics against penicillin-susceptible and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae.
MICs of 21 beta-lactams were determined by agar dilution against 283 penicillin-susceptible (pen-S), 122 intermediate (pen-I) and 23 fully penicillin-resistant (pen-R) pneumococci. MICs of all beta-lactams increased with increasing MICs of penicillin. Clometocillin was the most active penicillin against pen-I or pen-R pneumococci. All oral cephalosporins except cefuroxime and cefpodoxime were l...
متن کاملPrevalence of Resistant Streptococcus Pneumoniae Causing Meningitis in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Saudi Arabia
Acute bacterial meningitis is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause in adults and children. Choice of empirical antibiotics must be made in consideration of the global increase of resistant strains to penicillin and third-generation cephalosporins. In order to determine the most common pathogens responsible for bacterial meningitis in K...
متن کاملCarriage of penicillin resistant pneumococci.
A survey of 303 urban and 156 rural children showed nasopharyngeal carriage of relatively resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae organisms in 14.2% and 19.2% of children, respectively. These organisms have minimum inhibitory concentrations for penicillin in the range of 0.12-1 microgram/ml. An analysis of 40 relatively resistant S. pneumoniae strains showed resistance to co-trimoxazole in 47.5%, tr...
متن کاملHigh prevalence of penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae at a community hospital in Oklahoma.
During 1997, Oklahoma City's Hospital A reported penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae in almost 67% of isolates. To confirm this finding, all Hospital A S. pneumoniae isolates from October 23, 1997, through February 19, 1998, were tested for antibiotic susceptibility and repeat-tested at two other hospital laboratories. Medical records of Hospital A patients with invasive S. pneum...
