Analysis of Drug Resistance in 112 Strains of Streptococcus Agalactiae Isolated from Genitourinary Tract of Pregnant Women / 医学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To emphasize the hazardness due to streptococcus agalactiae infecting genitourinary tract of the pregnant women,and to analyze the drug resistance to 7 kinds of antibiotics in streptococcus agalactiaes in order to guide the clinical drug usage.Methods 112 isolates of streptococcus agalactiaes were identified by API 20 STREP.The susceptibility to 7 kinds of antibiotics were performed by K-B method.Results All of the 112 strains were susceptible to penicillin,cefazolin,ceftriaxone,vancomycin.The susceptibility to erythromycin,clindamycin and levofloxacin were 39.3%,56.2%,74.1% respectively.The resistance ratio to erythromycin was 49.1% followed by clindamycin(41.1%).Conclusions Penicillin and ampicillin were the first recommended antibiotics in treating and preventing streptococcus agalactiae infection.Erythromycin and clindamycin could be selected according to antibiotic susceptibility results in case of the patient with severe penicillin allergy.It is important to detect streptococcus agalactiae in preventing its infection among pregnant women.The results of the antibiotic susceptibility test can guide the rational drug usage in clinical treatment of streptococcus agalactiae infection.
