ABSTRACT

We carried out a retrospective study of the susceptibility of 104 Streptococcus pyogenes strains, which were isolated in 2000 and 2001 from clinical samples of different origins, to penicillin, erythromycin, clindamycin, ofloxacin and levofloxacin. The susceptibility testing was performed using the agar difusion method according to the guidelines of the NCCLS. All of the isolates showed susceptibility to penicillin and clindamycin. However, we detected 11 strains that were resistant to erythromycin (10.6%) and 4 strains resistant to ofloxacin (3.8%). We studied the resistance phenotypes of macrolides and lincosamides using erythromycin and clindamycin discs. Nine of the eleven strains that were resistant to erythromycin showed an M phenotype, while the remaining two showed inducible resistance to clindamycin, thus suggesting an MLS(B) inducible phenotype. No strains with constitutive resistance to erythromycin or clindamycin (MLS(B) constitutive phenotype) were identified. While penicillin is still uniformly active against S. pyogenes, in Guadalajara, there are 10.6% strains that are resistant to 14- and 15-atoms macrolides.

ABSTRACT

Se estudió retrospectivamente la sensibilidad a penicilina, eritromicina, clindamicina y ofloxacino de 104 cepas de Streptococcus pyogenes aisladas durante los años 2000 y 2001 de muestras clínicas procedentes de distintas localizaciones. En las cepas resistentes a ofloxacino se estudió también la sensibilidad a levofloxacino utilizando el método de difusión en agar y siguiendo las normas del NCCLS. Ningún aislamiento fue resistente a penicilina ni clindamicina; en cambio, se detectaron 11 cepas resistentes a eritromicina (10,6 por ciento) y 4 resistentes a ofloxacino (3,8 por ciento). Se estudiaron los fenotipos de resistencia a macrólidos y lincosamidas empleando discos de eritromicina y clindamicina. Nueve de las 11 cepas resistentes a eritromicina mostraron un fenotipo M, mientras que las dos restantes presentaron resistencia inducible frente a clindamicina, sugiriendo un fenotipo MLSB inducible. No se encontraron cepas con fenotipo de resistencia constitutiva a eritromicina y clindamicina (fenotipo MLSB constitutivo). La penicilina sigue siendo uniformemente activa frente a S. pyogenes, mientras que en el área sanitaria de Guadalajara existe un 10,6 por ciento de cepas resistentes a los macrólidos de 14 y 15 átomos (AU)
