ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the distribution and drug resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae in 0-14 year old children of 0 to 4 year-old in theour hospital.Methods S.pneumoniae were identified by using ma-trix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).Drug suscepti-bility test was performed by using ATB STREP 5 for each isolate.Penicillin G minimum inhibitory concentra-tion (MIC) was performed by using E-test.Results A total of 327 strains of S.pneumoniae were isolated,a-mong which 287(87.8%)were from sputum,25(7.6%) from the ear secretions,10(2.9%) from the nasal sinuses puncture fluid,and 3(0.9%)from the blood.The most strains were isolated in spring(28.4%),and the least in winter (22%),and there was no significant difference in the separation rate among the four sea-sons (P<0.05).The sensitivity rate,intermediate rate and drug resistant rate of non meningitis S.pneumoni-ae strains to penicillin G were 97.9%,0.6%,1.5%,respectively.The resistance rates of the bacteria to eryth-romycin,clindamycin,compoundtrimethoprim sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline were relatively high,a small number of levofloxacin resistant strains were found,and vancomycin and quinopin /Dafoe-P resistant strains were not detected.The resistance rates of penicillin G,penicillin resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP) and penicillin inter mediated Streptococcus pneumoniae (PISP)to amoxicillin and cefotaximeto were markedly higher than that of penicillin G sensitive Streptococcus pneumoniae (PSSP),and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).A total of 227 strains of multidrug resistance Streptococcus pneumoniae (69.4%)were isolated,which were resistant to erythromycin,tetracycline,trimethopri compoundm-sulfamethoxazol and clin-damycin(46.2%).Conclusion The drug resistance monitoring of Streptococcus pneumoniae in children can not be ignored.The drug resistance of the bacteria to penicillin G is low.Penicillin G is still a cheap and effec-tive drug for the treatment of Streptococcus pneumoniae infection.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To identify and analyze drug sensitivity of Corynebacterium glucuronolyticum iscolated from clinic, and to provide reference for clinical drug use. METHODS: Two strains isolated from the urine specimens of urolithiasis-induced urinary tract infection patients in our hospital were inoculated into Columbia blood plate and the MacConkey plate. The growth of strains was observed and counted. Protein mass spectrometry of strains was detected by MALDI-TOF-MS. DNA of strains was extracted, and PCR was used to amplify the 16S ribosome RNA (rRNA) sequence. Bi-directional sequencing of 1 500 bp target bands was conducted. Blast comparison between it and GenBank database was conducted to identify bacterial strain. Drug resistance of 2 strains was monitored by Etest assay. RESULTS: Two strains grew on the Columbia blood plate (with colony forming unit ＞105 CFU/mL) and did not grow on the MacConkey plate. Two strains were Gram-positive Corynebacterium and showed palisading or eight type arrangement. Two strains were C. glucuronolyticum by MALDI-TOF-MS identification, with reliability of 99. 9％. The characteristic peaks of m/z 2 431, 3 089, 3 364, 3 378, 4 200, 5 508, 6 302, 6 637, 6 730, 6 946, 12 603 appeared. Blast comparison showed that the sequence homology of 2 strains compared with C. glucuronolyticum strain known in GenBank were higher than 98 ％. Results of drug sensitivity test showed that strain 1 was resistant to ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin, and sensitive to 14 other antibiotics as penicillin G; strain 2 was resistant to ceftriaxone, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and clindamycin, moderately sensitive to cefotaxime, and sensitive to 10 other antibiotics. CONCLUSIONS: Two strains are C. glucuronolyticum, and drug resistance of them to commonly used antibiotics is different. The strains are rare pathogen of urinary tract and show multidrug resistance. Antibiotics should be selected according to the results of strain identification and drug sensitivity test.
