Gentamicin- and methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus have been isolated from Spring 1979 to the present from many hospitals in New York City. A large proportion of the strains were resistant to the majority of antistaphylococcal antibiotics. The ratio of multiply resistant strains was highest among tetracycline-resistant strains. There were significant differences in phage susceptibility patterns and the resistance spectrum of strains isolated at different hospitals, whereas strains isolated at the same hospital often showed a marked degree of similarity. This suggests multiple origins of gentamicin- and methicillin-resistant strains isolated in New York City.
自1979年春至今,在纽约市的多家医院已分离出对庆大霉素和甲氧西林耐药的金黄色葡萄球菌菌株。很大一部分菌株对大多数抗葡萄球菌抗生素耐药。多重耐药菌株的比例在四环素耐药菌株中最高。不同医院分离出的菌株在噬菌体敏感性模式和耐药谱方面存在显著差异,而同一医院分离出的菌株往往表现出明显的相似性。这表明在纽约市分离出的庆大霉素和甲氧西林耐药菌株有多个来源。
