Unusual occurrence of M type 77, antibiotic-resistant group A streptococci in southern Sweden.
For many years group A streptococci of T type 28 (T28) have been common in southern Sweden; however, since 1995 resistance to both macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLS) antibiotics and tetracycline was observed among T28 isolates, which prompted the present studies on clonal relatedness of antibiotic-resistant T28 strains. By extended T typing, 95 of 100 examined tetracycline-resistant st...
متن کاملTransformability of streptomycin-resistant group H streptococci.
Several resistant mutants of a transformable group H streptococcus, strain Challis, were isolated from media containing high concentrations of streptomycin. Mutants SR5a and SR5 exhibited high and low transformability, respectively, when exposed to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from a novobiocin-resistant Challis strain. With similar exposure, mutant SR30 exhibited loss of transformability. The m...
متن کاملPenicillin-resistant and penicillin-tolerant mutants of group A Streptococci.
Penicillin-resistant and penicillin-tolerant mutants have been isolated from group A streptococci mutagenized by ethyl methane sulfonate. The resistant mutants had an elevated minimal growth inhibitory concentration for benzylpenicillin (minimal inhibitory concentration, 0.2 microgram/ml, as compared with the minimal inhibitory concentration of 0.006 microgram/ml in the penicillin-susceptible p...
متن کاملEvolution and global dissemination of macrolide-resistant group A streptococci.
Macrolide-resistant group A streptococci (MRGAS) have been recovered from many countries worldwide. However, the strain typing information that is available has been insufficient for estimating the total number of macrolide-resistant clones, their geographic distributions, and their evolutionary relationships. In this study, sequence-based strain typing was used to characterize 212 MRGAS isolat...
متن کاملErythromycin-resistant group A streptococci in schoolchildren in Pittsburgh.
BACKGROUND Resistance to erythromycin has been very uncommon among group A streptococci in the United States. METHODS As part of a longitudinal study, we obtained surveillance throat cultures twice monthly and with each new respiratory tract illness from children in kindergarten through grade 8 at one school in Pittsburgh. Screening for resistance to erythromycin and clindamycin was initially...
