جداسازی استرپتوکوکوس ویریدانس به عنوان عامل پنومونی در نمونه‌های برونکوآلوئولار لاواژ در بیماران مبتلا به پنومونی
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Pneumonia is one of the most important causes of death worldwide and its accurate diagnosis is extremely important. Typically, Viridans Streptococci are not the cause of pneumonia, but in patients with an underlying illness, they can be problematic. Also, due to contamination with the microbial flora of the upper respiratory tract, they may be isolates from a pure culture, which makes it difficult for the physicians and laboratory staff to diagnose. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of Streptococci Viridans as a cause of pneumonia in patients with underlying disease. Methods: This cross-sectional retrospective (2011-2014) study was carried out using a medical records of patients admitted to the infectious disease ward of city hospitals in Tehran, Iran. The patients, including people with pneumonia that were confirmed by X-ray and also had an underlying disease. The BAL samples were obtained from these patients and were cultured. The antibiotic susceptibility test was done for Streptococcus viridans isolates. Results: The results reveal that out of 168 pneumonia patients, VS have been isolated from BAL samples of 54 cases (32 %). In 31 cases (57%) VS were the only isolated pathogen. In none of the samples, the pneumococcus was not isolated. According to results of antibiotic susceptibility test, the highest rate of resistance was seen for cotrimoxazole, and the lowest rate was seen for vancomycin and ceftazidime. Conclusion: Regarding the high frequency reported of Streptococcus viridans as a cause of pneumonia in the period of study and the lack of isolation of other organisms, such as pneumococcus, it is possible that the BAL sample be contaminated with the normal flora of the respiratory system. Although the BAL is very valuable sample for the diagnosis of pneumonia causative agent, but based on the culture of this sample alone, it can not report Streptococcus viridans as a cause of pneumonia.

This study was done for identification of bacterial agents in calf pneumonia and determination of their antimicrobial susceptibility. Bronchoalveolar lavage was done on fourteen pneumonic and seven normal Holstein calves between 1-3 month old. In bacteriological examination on the fluid of bronchoalveolar lavage, Mycoplasma spp. were isolated from 4 (28.6%) pneumonic calves and 1 (14.3%) ...

Abstract Introduction: Wide and universal distribution of Legionnaires’ disease, abundance of reports about its prevalence and Pontiac fever from different countries, unresponsiveness to conventional antibiotic therapy in a number of pneumonia patients and the lack of any report about it in Iran directed us to perform this project. Legionnaires’ disease is seen in sporadic and epidemic form an...

Background and Aim: Pneumonia is now one of the most important causes of childhood mortality in developing countries like Iran. The increased susceptibility to pneumonia, particularly in malnourished children of developing countries, is postulated to be due to reduction in cellular immunity. One of the reasons for reduced immunological competence in malnourished children may be zinc deficie...
