Correlation between usage of macrolide antibiotic and resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae clinic isolates from chongqing children's hospital
Pediatric Pulmonology, 08/17/09
Chen J et al. – No linear correlation was observed between the decline in macrolide consumption and continued increase in resistant rate in S. pneumoniae. In 100 macrolide–resistant S. pneumoniae isolates, 68 had both erm(B) and mef(A) genotypes, 10 only had the erm(B), 20 only had the mef(A). Co–existences of ribosomal modification coded by erm(B) gene and efflux effects coded by mef(A) gene were the main resistance mechanism against macrolides and might be attributed to the high drug resistance of S. pneumoniae in Chongqing.
