Draft Genome Sequences of Streptococcus pneumoniae with High-Level Resistance to Respiratory Fluoroquinolones
نویسندگان
چکیده
Streptococcus pneumoniaeis the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia. Levofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone used for treatment of severe community-acquired pneumonia. Here, we describe the draft genome sequences ofS. pneumoniaewith emerging resistance to levofloxacin, resulting in failure of treatment of pneumococcal pneumonia.

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Streptococcus pneumoniae Serotype 19A Sequence Type 226 Clinical Isolates from Hungary, Hu17 with High-Level Beta-Lactam Resistance and Hu15 of a Penicillin-Sensitive Phenotype
The draft genome sequences of two multiple-antibiotic-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from Hungary, Hu15 and Hu17, are reported here. Strain Hu15 is penicillin susceptible, whereas Hu17 is a high-level-penicillin-resistant strain. Both isolates belong to the serotype 19A sequence type 226, a single-locus variant (in the ddl locus) of the Hungary19A-6 clone.

We report here the draft genomes of two pneumococcal isolates in Hong Kong, CU_SPNE1_05 and CU_SPNE32_06. Strain CU_SPNE1_05 had a cefotaxime MIC of 1 µg/ml, and CU_SPNE32_06 had an MIC of 32 µg/ml. Both strains belong to the multidrug-resistant serogroup 19, sequence type 271 (clonal complex 3200/271).
متن کاملEvaluation of Resistance to Fluoroquinolones and Its Relationship whit parC Gene Mutation in Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Isolates
Background & Objective: Klebsiella pneumoniae has received attention due to a wide range of diseases and antibiotic resistance.The resistance to fluoroquinolones in gram-negative bacteria is often due to chromosomal mutations in the gyr and par genes. This research aimed at investigating the pattern of fluoroquinolone resistance and its relation with a mutation in the parC gene among clinical i...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Six Strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae from Serotypes 5, 6A, 6B, 18C, 19A, and 23F
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a pathogenic bacterium found most commonly in the respiratory tract of humans and is a common cause of pneumonia and bacterial meningitis. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of six S. pneumoniae strains: CCUG 1350, CCUG 7206, CCUG 11780, CCUG 33774, CCUG 35180, and CCUG 35272.
متن کاملHigh-level penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteremia: identification of a low-risk subgroup.
High-level penicillin resistance has been associated with treatment failure in patients with Streptococcus pneumoniae infections. To identify a subgroup of patients at low risk for high-level penicillin-nonsusceptible S. pneumoniae bacteremia, a cross-sectional study of 303 patients was performed. For the total study population, penicillin resistance was observed in 98 (32%) of 303 patients; hi...
