Antimicrobial resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates in 1999 and 2000 in Madrid, Spain: a multicentre surveillance study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Resistance to first-line antimicrobial agents in Streptococcus pneumoniae is increasing worldwide and the new fluoroquinolones may provide a good alternative. The antimicrobial susceptibility to levofloxacin and 13 other antibiotics of 300 isolates of S. pneumoniae, isolated in the Madrid community in 1999 and 2000, was determined. A total of 65.6% of isolates were penicillin intermediate or resistant strains. A high percentage of resistance to macrolides, clindamycin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol was also observed, mainly in penicillin-resistant strains. All but one strain was susceptible to levofloxacin.

Increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae from the PROTEKT surveillance study, and compatative in vitro activity of the ketolide, telithromycin.
The prevalence of resistance to a range of antimicrobials was determined for isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae examined in the PROTEKT (Prospective Resistant Organism Tracking and Epidemiology for the Ketolide Telithromycin) surveillance study (1999-2000) using NCCLS testing methods and interpretative criteria. Of 3362 pneumococcal isolates collected from 69 centres in 25 countries, 22.1% ov...

Multicentre surveillance is essential in order to monitor the prevalence of certain resistance phenotypes and to identify rapidly the emergence of new ones. However, many surveillance studies are based either on a relatively small number of isolates from a single country, or on a large number of isolates from many different countries and so are not equally meaningful. Extensive national multice...

Objective(s): Macrolide resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae pose an emerging problem globally. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of ermB and mefA genes (macrolide resistant genes) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and to detect drug resistance patterns of S. pneumoniae isolated from clinical samples to macrolides and other antibiotic agents by E-test method.

متن کاملMulticenter surveillance of antimicrobial resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis in Taiwan during the 1998-1999 respiratory season.
A susceptibility surveillance study of 276 isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae, 301 of Haemophilus influenzae, and 110 of Moraxella catarrhalis was carried out from November 1998 to May 1999 in Taiwan. High rates of nonsusceptibility to penicillin (76%), extended-spectrum cephalosporins (56%), azithromycin (94%), clarithromycin (95%), and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) (65%) for S. pn...

In Colombia, a laboratory-based surveillance of invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates as part of SIREVA II PAHO has been conducted since 1994. This study describes the serotype distribution, antimicrobial resistance, and genetic relationships of pneumococcal isolates recovered in Colombia from 2005 to 2010. In this study, demographic data of invasive S. pneumoniae isolates were analyzed, a...
