Since April 2024, a pertussis epidemic has been ongoing in Finland with 2,215 notified cases by end October. Of them, 30.1% (n = 667) were aged 10-14 years. Of the 462 isolates characterised, one was macrolide-resistant (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of erythromycin, azithromycin and clarithromycin > 256 μg/mL). The resistant isolate was serotype FIM2, vaccine antigen pertactin-deficient and harboured allele. The emergence of macrolide-resistant in Europe is worrisome and its rapid identification is important.
自2024年4月以来,芬兰一直在发生百日咳疫情,截至10月底已报告2215例病例。其中,30.1%(n = 667)为10至14岁的儿童。在462株已鉴定的分离株中,有1株对大环内酯类耐药(红霉素、阿奇霉素和克拉霉素的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)>256μg/mL)。该耐药分离株为FIM2血清型,缺乏疫苗抗原百日咳杆菌黏附素,并携带等位基因。欧洲出现大环内酯类耐药令人担忧,快速鉴定耐药菌株很重要。
