Variation in erythromycin and clindamycin resistance patterns between New Zealand and Australian group B streptococcus isolates.
BACKGROUND Intrapartum chemoprophylaxis for group B streptococcus (GBS) carriers reduces the risk of early-onset neonatal GBS infection. For women with β-lactam allergy, either erythromycin or clindamycin are administered. Recent reports worldwide suggest that GBS resistance to these antibiotics is increasing. AIMS To compare erythromycin and clindamycin resistance phenotypes in invasive neon...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance patterns of group B streptococcal clinical isolates.
OBJECTIVES To determine the in vitro resistance of group B streptococcus (GBS) to 12 antibiotics. To determine if there has been any decrease in sensitivity to the penicillins or other antibiotics currently used for GBS chemoprophylaxis in pregnant women. Find suitable alternative antibiotics to penicillin. Find an antibiotic that will have minimal selective pressure for resistance among the en...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance Patterns in Invasive Group B Streptococcal Isolates
Antibiotics are used for both group B streptococcal (GBS) prevention and treatment. Active population-based surveillance for invasive GBS disease was conducted in four states during 1996-2003. Of 3813 case-isolates, 91.0% (3471) were serotyped, 77.1% (2937) had susceptibility testing, and 46.6% (3471) had both. All were sensitive to penicillin, ampicillin, cefazolin, cefotaxime, and vancomycin....
متن کاملResistance of group B streptococcus to selected antibiotics, including erythromycin and clindamycin.
Resistance of group B streptococcus (GBS) to antibiotics, particularly erythromycin and clindamycin, was studied. Erythromycin resistance was present in 22% of GBS isolates, and these isolates were constitutively resistant, inducibly resistant, or sensitive to clindamycin. Erythromycin and clindamycin MICs were related to the presence of ermA, ermB, or mefA genes.

background: streptococcus group b (gbs) or streptococcus agalactiae is typically associated with neonatal disease and infection in pregnant women. mortality of gbs sepsis in neonates is over 50% and is particularly high in preterm infants. gbs also causes invasive infection in pregnant and non-pregnant women including urinary tract infection (uti). penicillin-derived antibiotics remained as cho...
