Antibiotic susceptibility according to genotype of penicillin-binding protein and macrolide resistance genes, and serotype of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from community-acquired pneumonia in children.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Antibiotic susceptibilities, genes mediating beta-lactam and macrolide resistance, and serotypes were analysed for strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae. METHODS: A total of 392 strains of S. pneumoniae were isolated from paediatric patients with community-acquired pneumonia between May 2002 and 2004. All strains were classified into six genotype patterns according to the mutations found in the pbp1a,...
