Emergence of Erythromycin Resistant Invasive Group A <i>Streptococcus</i> in West Virginia, United States

2022-08-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Combination therapy with penicillin and clindamycin has been a mainstay for treatment of invasive group A Streptococcus (iGAS) infections yet increasing macrolide resistance may limit such treatment for strains displaying MLS B phenotypes. The CDC recently reported erythromycin and clindamycin resistance rates for iGAS exceeding 20% in 2017. Here, we investigated 76 iGAS isolates from 66 patie...
