The relationship between capsular polysaccharide types 5 and 8 and resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to oxacillin was studied with a collection of 406 clinical isolates from six French hospitals. Of 175 type 5 isolates, 84 (48%) were resistant to oxacillin. In contrast, only 8 of 160 type 8 isolates (5%) and 5 of 71 nontypeable isolates (7%) were resistant to oxacillin. Therefore, capsular typing of clinical isolates of S. aureus may facilitate the choice of first-line antibiotic therapy.
利用从六家法国医院收集的406株临床分离株,研究了5型和8型荚膜多糖与金黄色葡萄球菌对苯唑西林耐药性之间的关系。在175株5型分离株中,84株(48%)对苯唑西林耐药。相比之下,160株8型分离株中只有8株(5%)以及71株不可分型分离株中有5株(7%)对苯唑西林耐药。因此,对金黄色葡萄球菌临床分离株进行荚膜分型可能有助于一线抗生素治疗的选择。
