Emerging fluoroquinolone-non-susceptible group A streptococci in two different paediatric populations.
Clonal emergence of group A streptococci (GAS) with reduced susceptibility to fluoroquinolones (FQs) has been increasingly reported. Non-susceptibility is associated with various point mutations in the target-encoding genes and has only been described in a few emm types. We used a well-characterised GAS clinical paediatric collection from Brussels (Belgium) and Brasília (Brazil) to analyse the ...
متن کاملGenetic characterization of optochin-susceptible viridans group streptococci.
Two clinical isolates of viridans group streptococci (VS) with different degrees of susceptibility to optochin (OPT), i.e., fully OPT-susceptible (Opt(s)) VS strain 1162/99 (for which the MIC was equal to that for Streptococcus pneumoniae, 0.75 micro g/ml) and intermediate Opt(s) VS strain 1174/97 (MIC, 6 micro g/ml) were studied. Besides being OPT susceptible, they showed characteristics typic...
متن کاملRe: role of non-group a streptococci in acute pharyngitis.
BACKGROUND The role of non-group A streptococci (non-GAS) as pathogens of acute pharyngitis is controversial. Data are limited and conflicting on whether these bacteria are true pathogens of pharyngitis and whether treatment is indicated in all cases or just select cases. However, non-GAS are well-documented as being pathogens of other diseases, including neonatal sepsis, pneumonia, endocarditi...

متن کاملVaccination equally enables both genetically susceptible and resistant mice to control infection with group A streptococci.
There is substantial evidence that host genetic factors are important in determining susceptibility to infection with group A streptococci (GAS). Several studies have revealed that, similarly to humans, a genetic component may be important in determining susceptibility to GAS infection in mice. Thus, C3H/HeN mice are much more susceptible to streptococcal infection than BALB/c mice. We have det...
