  • Proučevanje odpornosti proti eritromicinu pri izolatih bakterije Streptococcus pyogenes iz dihal bolnikov v Sloveniji = Study od erythromycin resistance in Streptococcus pyogenes isolates from respiratory tract specimens of patients in Slovenia
    Štrumbelj, Iztok ...
    Objective: To determine the rates of erythromycin resisiance in Streptococcus pyogenes isolates obtained from respiratory tract specimens in Slovenia duringthc period 2007-2004. Methods: In ... 2001-2004, eight Slovene microbiology laboratories isolated 3919 S. pyogenes isolates from respiratory tract specimens. Their susceptibility to erythromycin was determined. The data were analyzed with regard to patient age, geographic region and other factors. Results: The overall rate of resistance to erythromycin in all tested strains was 8.4%. Resistance was more common in adults than in children. There were great differences among individual regions; the highest rate of resistance wasfound in the Koper region (22.8%) and the lowest in the Nova Gorica region (5.3%). The rate of resistance increased from 5.6% in 2001 to 11.9% in 2004. Conclusions: The observed increase in erythromycin resistance and current rates of resistance are a cause of concern. Efficient interventions to preventantibiotic resistance are necessary.
