During the period from January of 1995 to June of 1998, 27 beta-hemolytic streptococci were isolated from 25 cases of infectious skin diseases including secondary infections, impetigo, phlegmone, and paronychia. The rate of beta-hemolytic streptococci among all kinds of the isolates was found to be similar during those 4 years, ranging from 3.5% to 5.6%. Staphylococcus aureus were found to coexist with beta-hemolytic streptococci in 20 (80%) out of 25 cases. beta-hemolytic streptococci were also often associated with coagulase-negative staphylococci, gram-positive rods, or other species. Twelve cases (48%) carried beta-hemolytic streptococci predominantly. Most beta-hemolytic streptococci showed high susceptibilities to all antimicrobials tested; however S. agalactiae showed no susceptibility to gentamicin. The evaluation of characteristics of Streptococcus species is very important for selecting the right antimicrobial agents and the proper term of chemotherapy.
在1995年1月至1998年6月期间,从25例传染性皮肤病(包括继发性感染、脓疱病、蜂窝织炎和甲沟炎)中分离出27株β-溶血性链球菌。在这4年中,各类分离菌株中β-溶血性链球菌的分离率相似,范围为3.5%至5.6%。在25例病例中的20例(80%)中发现金黄色葡萄球菌与β-溶血性链球菌共存。β-溶血性链球菌还经常与凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌、革兰氏阳性杆菌或其他菌种相关联。12例(48%)主要携带β-溶血性链球菌。大多数β-溶血性链球菌对所有测试抗菌药物均表现出高度敏感性;然而,无乳链球菌对庆大霉素不敏感。评估链球菌种类的特征对于选择合适的抗菌药物和化疗疗程非常重要。
