Meningitis due to mixed infection with penicillin-resistant and penicillin-susceptible strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the major cause of bacterial meningitis. We report a case of meningitis due to a mixed infection with two distinct strains of S. pneumoniae: one penicillin-resistant strain of serotype 9V and one penicillin-susceptible strain of serotype 7. The two strains exhibited different pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles.
متن کاملSuppurative pericarditis due to a penicillin- and streptomycin-resistant staphylococcus.
In spite of modern antibiotic therapy, suppurative pericarditis remains a serious condition and the mortality rate is still believed to be in the region of 50% (d'Abreu, 1953). Aird (1949) states that the mortality by aspiration alone is 100%, by operation alone 50%, but that the mortality from a combination of aspiration and penicillin replacement should be low providing the organism is sensit...
متن کاملSusceptibility to cephalosporins of penicillin-susceptible and penicillin-resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from Philadelphia.
Using agar dilution, we determined MICs of penicillin, cefoxitin, ceftriaxone, cefmetazole, tetracycline, and spectinomycin for 129 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. All strains were susceptible to ceftriaxone (MIC range, less than or equal to 0.008 to 0.06 micrograms/ml) and spectinomycin (16 to 32 micrograms/ml). The MICs for 50, 90, and 100% of strains tested were 1.0, 2.0, and greater than ...
متن کاملMultivariate analysis of risk factors for infection due to penicillin-resistant and multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae: a multicenter study.
Pneumococcal disease was studied prospectively to determine the risk factors associated with resistance to penicillin and other antibiotics. One hundred twelve clinically significant pneumococcal isolates were recovered from 95 patients. Approximately one-half (49.47%) of the cases were due to penicillin-resistant strains. Multivariate analysis showed that previous use of beta-lactam antibiotic...
متن کاملStaphylococcal scalded skin syndrome due to burn wound infection.
UNLABELLED Introduction. The staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome is an acute exfoliation of the skin caused by exfoliative toxins A and B. Although Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of burn wound infection, SSSS following burn wound infection is rare. Method. A retrospective review of all SSSS cases admitted to a regional burns service between January 2008 and January 2012 was undertaken...
