Penicillin Resistance of Nonvaccine Type Pneumococcus before and after PCV13 Introduction, United States [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017 Introduction of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in the United States was not associated with a significant change in prevalence of penicillin resistance in nonvaccine type serotypes because of the variable success of highly resistant serotypes ...

Antimicrobial Resistance with Streptococcus pneumoniae in the United States, 1997–98 [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999 From November 1997 to April 1998, 1,601 clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae were obtained from 34 U.S. medical centers. The overall rate of strains showing resistance to penicillin was 29.5%, with 17.4% having intermediate resistance. Multidrug

Association between treatment failure in patients with early syphilis and penicillin resistance-related gene mutations of Treponema pallidum: Protocol for a multicentre nested case–control study [PDF]
Frontiers in Medicine, 2023 BackgroundThe widespread occurrence of syphilis remains a global public health problem. Although penicillin has been recommended as the first-line therapy for syphilis for more than 70 years, treatment failure occurs in 10–20% of patients with early ...

Long-term effects of penicillin resistance and fitness cost on pneumococcal transmission dynamics in a developed setting [PDF]
Infection Ecology & Epidemiology, 2016 Background: The increasing prevalence of penicillin non-susceptible pneumococci (PNSP) throughout the world threatens successful treatment of infections caused by this important bacterial pathogen. The rate at which PNSP clones spread in the community is

Clinical outcome of pneumococcal meningitis during the emergence of pencillin-resistant
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2011 Background Prior to the availability of generic third-generation cephalosporins, penicillins were widely used for treatment of pneumococcal meningitis in developing countries despite concerns about rising levels of penicillin resistance among ...

Analysis of Whole-Genome Sequences for the Prediction of Penicillin Resistance and β-Lactamase Activity in
mSystems, 2018 Penicillin (PEN) is a low-cost option for anthrax treatment, but naturally occurring resistance has been reported. β-Lactamase expression (bla1, bla2) in Bacillus anthracis is regulated by a sigma factor (SigP) and its cognate anti-sigma factor (RsiP ...

Sub-inhibitory concentrations of vancomycin prevent quinolone-resistance in a penicillin-resistant isolate of Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
, 2001 BACKGROUND: The continuous spread of penicillin-resistant pneumococci represents a permanent threat in the treatment of pneumococcal infections, especially when strains show additional resistance to quinolones.

Penicillin allergy as an instrumental variable for estimating antibiotic effects on resistance [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAntibiotic resistance is influenced by prior antibiotic use, but precise causal estimates are limited. This study uses penicillin allergy as an instrumental variable (IV) to estimate the causal effect of antibiotics on resistance.
