Abstract:

Objective To investigate the drug resistance of Streptococcus agalactiae isolated from female urogenital tract,and to provide a reference for clinical antibiotic usage. Methods Samples were collected from urogenital tract among females,and the drug resistance of Streptococcus agalactiae isolated from female urogenital tract was evaluated. Results A total of 77 isolates of Streptococcus agalactiae were collected,mainly from the secretions of female urogenital tract in Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics. There were 94.8% females under 50 years old. The susceptibility test showed that tetracycline had the highest susceptibility rate(84.4%),followed by erythromycin(63.6%) and clindamycin(29.9%). Some isolates were resistant to levofloxacin(24.7%),ciprofloxacin(24.7%) and nitrofurantoin(1.3%),and some isolates had intermediate susceptibility to ciprofloxacin,nitrofurantoin and moxifloxacin. The isolates being resistant to tigecycline,quinupristin/dalfopristin,vancomycin,linezolid,ceftriaxone,ampicillin and penicillin were not found. The positive rate of D-inhibition zone trail was 75.0%,and 2 isolates of special resistant L-phenotype were determined. Conclusions Penicillin remains the first choice for the treatment of Streptococcus agalactiae infection. Inducible erythromycin-resistance and clindamycin-resistance exist. Hospitals should pay attention to special resistant phenotype and other bacterial drug resistance in order to prevent from multiple drug resistant isolates.
