Macrolide-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes in Norway: population structure and resistance determinants.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 2.7% prevalence of macrolide resistance in 1,657 Norwegian clinical Streptococcus pyogenes isolates was primarily due to erm(TR) (59%) and mef(A) (20%). Four clonal complexes comprised 75% of the strains. Macrolide resistance in S. pyogenes in Norway is imported as resistant strains or locally selected in internationally disseminated susceptible clones.

Twenty-three group A streptococci (GAS) recovered from population-based invasive GAS surveillance in the United States were erythromycin-resistant, inducibly clindamycin-resistant and lacked known macrolide-resistance determinants. These 23 isolates, representing 4 different clones, contained a broad host-range plasmid carrying the erm(T) methylase gene which has not been previously detected in...
متن کاملDetection of macrolide resistance mechanisms in Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes using a multiplex rapid cycle PCR with microwell-format probe hybridization.
In this study, a multiplex rapid cycle PCR with microwell-format probe hybridization method was developed to perform high-volume screening for macrolide resistance determinants in isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes. The method was then utilized to determine the distribution of macrolide resistance mechanisms in recent isolates of S. pneumoniae and S. pyogenes from G...

متن کاملAntibiotic Selection Pressure and Resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes
We correlated outpatient antibiotic use with prevalence of penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSP), macrolide-resistant S. pneumoniae (MRSP), and macrolide-resistant S. pyogenes (MRGAS) in 20 countries. Total antibiotic use was correlated with PNSP (r = 0.75; p < 0.001), as was macrolide use with MRSP (r = 0.88; p < 0.001) and MRGAS (r = 0.71; p = 0.004). Streptococcal resista...
متن کاملMacrolide- and Telithromycin-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes, Belgium, 1999–20031
We found a 13% macrolide resistance in 3,866 Streptococcus pyogenes isolated from tonsillopharyngitis patients; 59% macrolide-resistant isolates were distributed in 5 clones, suggesting the importance of both resistance gene transfer and clonal dissemination in the spread of these organisms. We also report one of the largest collections of telithromycin-resistant isolates.
