Nasopharyngeal colonization and penicillin resistance among pneumococcal strains: a Worldwide 2004 update

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2006
Surveillance of nasopharyngeal pneumococcus has proven to be a valuable tool for the monitoring of antibiotic resistance. We reviewed the latest information on colonization rate and penicillin resistance by making a MEDLINE search, using the terms ...

Effects of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine on Genotypic Penicillin Resistance and Serotype Changes, Japan, 2010-2017. [PDF]

Emerg Infect Dis, 2018
To clarify year-to-year changes in capsular serotypes, resistance genotypes, and multilocus sequence types of Streptococcus pneumoniae, we compared isolates collected from patients with invasive pneumococcal disease before and after introductions of 7 ...

Penicillin resistance in bovine Staphylococcus aureus: Genomic evaluation of the discrepancy between phenotypic and molecular test methods.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2022
Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen in humans and animals. In cattle, it is one of the most important agents of mastitis, causing serious costs in the dairy industry. Early diagnosis and adequate therapy are therefore 2 key factors to deal with the

Meningococcal Antibiotic Resistance: Molecular Characterization of Isolates from Patients with Invasive Meningococcal Disease (IMD) in Greece

Antibiotics, 2023
For effective case management and chemoprophylaxis of Invasive Meningococcal Disease (IMD), prompt antibiotic treatment is required. N. meningitidis is usually susceptible to antibiotics, but reduced susceptibility to penicillin, ciprofloxacin, and ...

Restricted Sequence Variation in Streptococcus pyogenes Penicillin Binding Proteins

mSphere, 2020
A recent clinical report has linked Streptococcus pyogenes β-lactam antibiotic resistance to mutation in the penicillin binding protein (PBP) PBP2x. To determine whether this is an isolated case or reflects a broader prevalence of mutations that might ...

Clinical Perspective of Antimicrobial Resistance in Bacteria

Infection and Drug Resistance, 2022
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a global clinical problem in recent years. With the discovery of antibiotics, infections were not a deadly problem for clinicians as they used to be.

Antibiotic resistance among invasive Neisseria meningitidis isolates in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (2010/11 to 2018/19).

PLoS ONE, 2021
Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD), caused by Neisseria meningitidis, can have a fatality rate as high as 10%, even with appropriate treatment. In the UK, penicillin is administered to patients in primary care whilst third generation cephalosporins ...

Inhibition of the expression of penicillin resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae by inactivation of cell wall muropeptide branching genes

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2000
Penicillin-resistant strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae contain low affinity penicillin-binding proteins and often also produce abnormal indirectly crosslinked cell walls.
