  • Pogled v odpornost beta-hemolitičnih streptokokov in zunajbolnišničnih sevov Staphylococcus aureus = Insight in antimicrobial resistance in beta-haemolytic streptococci and outpatient isolates of Staphylococcus aureus
    Kolman, Jana ...
    Computer data on the antimicrobial resistence of beta-haemolytic streptococci and the outpatient isolates of Staphylococcus aureus during 1998, colleced from eight regional microbiological ... laboratories in Slovenia are shown. The data were collected from daily routine work in laboratories. Susceptibility testing was mainly performed using the disc diffusion method. The overall resistance to erythromycin among group A beta-haemolytic streptococci was 5.8% (1349 tested), in group B it was 4.9% (1799) and in group C 8% (288). The higher overall rate of resistance among group G streptococci 13.9% (418) reflects its notably high rate of 46.9% (81 ) in Murska Sobota in the Pomurje region, as the rate in other regions was a mere 5.9% (337). Intermediate isolates are shown separately. The results of susceptibility to other antibiotics are also shown, but susceptibility testing was not performed regularly. As a rule, the frequency of methicillin resistant S. aureus isolates from the nose and throat among healthy carriers in the community were 2 out of 2181. The resistance rate among outpatient isolates was 2.15% (1022), but possible strains isolated from previously hospitalised patients were not excluded. From the data obtained, it seems that in Slovenia methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains have remained predominantly nosocomial pathogens. The colleded data provide a broad insight into the present situation, and an important basis for further activities involving bacterial susceptibility testing.
