Cotrimoxazole resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae and commensal streptococci from Kampala, Uganda.

Scandinavian journal of infectious diseases - 1 Jan 2009

Wilén Maria, Buwembo William, Sendagire Hakim, Kironde Fred, Swedberg Göte

Abstract excerpt

Trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole (cotrimoxazole, CTX) is used frequently as part of standard medical care for people living with HIV/AIDS in Africa. The mechanisms of resistance to sulfonamides and trimethoprim in commensal streptococci from Uganda were determined and compared to S. pneumoniae. Commensal streptococci showing high-level resistance to cotrimoxazole were cultured and analysed for species identity and...
