AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the mechanisms of erythromycinresistant streptococcus pnenoniae and their variable antimicrobial resistance.
MethodsClindamycin disks were to screen erythromycinresistant streptococcus pneumoniae mediated by ermB ro mefE genes.Antimicrobial resistance of erythromycinresistant streptococcus pneumoniae mediated by ermB of mefE genes were studied by Etest respectively.
ResultsErmB and mefE genes were 70.3%(168/239) and 29.7%(71/239) respectively among 239 strains of erythromycinresistant streptococcus pneumoniae.The rates of resistance to penicillin (MIC50 0.19μg/mL,MIC90 1.5μg/mL),amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (MIC50 0.19μg/mL,MIC90 1.0μg/mL),ceftrixone (MIC50 0.19μg/mL,MIC90 0.75μg/mL),cefuroxime (MIC500.38μg/mL,MIC90 2.0μg/mL),cefaclor (MIC502.0μg/mL,MIC90 32.0μg/mL) of erythromycinresistant streptococcus pneumoniae mediated by ermB were 58.4%,1.2%,20.8%,46.5% and 51.7% respectively,and the resistance rates to penicillin(MIC50 0.5μg/mL,MIC90 1.5μg/mL),amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (MIC50 0.38μg/mL,MIC90 1.0μg/mL),ceftrixone (MIC50 0.38μg/mL,MIC90 0.75μg/mL),cefuroxime (MIC501.0μg/mL,MIC90 3.0μg/mL),cefaclor (MIC506.0μg/mL,MIC90 48.0μg/mL) of erythromycinresistant streptococcus pneumoniae mediated by mefE were 67.6%,0,19.7%,59.2% and 61.9% respectively (including decreased susceptibility).
ConclusionErythromycinresistant streptococcus pneumoniae mediated by ermB is predominant in Guangzhou,the level of erythromycin resistance mediated by ermB is usually higher due to mefE.Erythromycinresistant streptococcus pneumoniae mediated by ermB or mefE genes also has βlactam resistance in various level.
