  • Antimicrobial resistance of invasive streptococcus pneumoniae in Slovenia, 1993-1995
    Čižman, Milan ...
    The susceptibility of 108 Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated from normally sterile body sites during 1993-1995 in Slovenia has been studied. Overall resistance to penicillin, erythromycin, ... trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,cefuroxime, cefaclor and chloramphenicol was 16.6, 0.9, 28.8, 0, 4.5 and 4.6%, respectively. All penicillin-resistant isolates (intermediate resitance) were susceptible to cefotaxime, ceftriaxone and vancomycin. Isolates less suceptible to penicillin were also significantlyless sensitive to chloramphenicol, cefaclor and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole than penicillin-sensitive strains. Pneumococci isolated in children were significantly (p < 0.05) more resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole than those isolated in adults. The study demonstrated moderate resistance rate of S. pneumoniae to penicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and a low-level resistance rate to erythromycin,cefaclor and chloramphenicol. No straightforwad correlation between overall consumption of antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance was found.
