Streptococcus pneumoniae is a worldwide leading cause of morbidity and mortality, while susceptibility towards penicillin and macrolides can be less than 50% in many regions.
A total of 150 isolates of S. pneumoniae causative of invasive diseases in children were characterized, of which 24.6% had a fatal outcome.
The most prevalent serotypes were 19F, 6B, 23F and 14. Resistance to penicillin, erythromycin (mostly of macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin resistance phenotype) or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was found in more than 40% of the isolates, but no resistance phenotype appeared linked to lethality. Serotype 3 isolates, which were seldom resistant, had a twofold lethality rate compared to the total sample.
Serotyping could provide a better outcome-predicting tool than susceptibility testing. The seven-valent vaccine does not include the most prevalent serotypes found in Mexico.
肺炎链球菌是全球发病率和死亡率的主要原因,而在许多地区,其对青霉素和大环内酯类药物的敏感性可能低于50%。
对150株导致儿童侵袭性疾病的肺炎链球菌分离株进行了特征分析,其中24.6%的病例出现致命结果。
最常见的血清型为19F、6B、23F和14。超过40%的分离株对青霉素、红霉素(主要为大环内酯-林可酰胺-链阳菌素耐药表型)或甲氧苄啶-磺胺甲恶唑耐药,但未发现耐药表型与致死率相关。血清型3分离株很少耐药,但其致死率是总样本的两倍。
血清分型可能比药敏试验提供更好的结果预测工具。七价疫苗不包括在墨西哥发现的最常见血清型。
