High-level aminoglycoside resistance in the beta-hemolytic group G Streptococcus isolate BM2721.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The beta-hemolytic group G Streptococcus clinical isolate BM2721 was resistant to high levels of aminoglycosides by synthesis of AAC(6')-APH(2"), APH(3')-III, and ANT(6) modifying enzymes. The corresponding genes were found to be adjacent as the result of a recombination event between Tn4001 and Tn5405, two transposons originating in staphylococci.

Sir, The interesting article by Jain et al. describes the resistance pattern of GABHS (group-A beta-hemolytic streptococci) in northern India.[1] The article may be of immense interest to all clinicians. The authors mention in the abstract section that the current resistance pattern of GABHS has not been discussed in India, which is incorrect. A thorough search of literature reveals that Lloyd ...

High-level aminoglycoside resistance was assessed in 190 commensal erythromycin-resistant alpha-hemolytic streptococcal strains. Of these, seven were also aminoglycoside-resistant: one Streptococcus mitis strain was resistant to high levels of kanamycin and carried the aph(3 ')-III gene, four S. mitis strains were resistant to high levels of streptomycin and lacked aminoglycoside-modifying enzy...

Streptococcus dysgalactiae is classified by a combination of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics into Lancefield group C alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. dysgalactiae and Lancefield group C, group G, and group L beta-hemolytic Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis. In this study, we report the isolation of a catalase-negative, alpha-hemolytic, optochin- and bacitra...

Background and Aim: Due to the widespread use of antimicrobials in veterinary medicine and the increase in livestock production, it seems that the risk of spreading antibiotic resistance in human societies is more related to animals and the veterinary field. In this study, antibiotic resistance, high-level aminoglycoside resistance and frequency of aminoglycoside resistance associated genes amo...
