- W2738522641 abstract "Streptococcus pyogenes, or group A streptococcus (GAS), is the main etiological agent of bacterial tonsillopharyngitis and a common cause of a wide variety of other mild to severe infections.Objectives of the present study was to determine and evaluate the distribution of genetic mechanisms associated with certain phenotypes of macrolide resistance in Bulgarian GAS isolated during the years of 2013-2016.All GAS strains were screened for the macrolide resistance genes erm(A), erm(B) and mef(A), using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, clindamycin were determined by E-tests.Almost 23% of GAS isolates obtained in 2013-2014 and near 40% of them in 2015-2016 contained various elements of resistance. The predominant gene was mef(A), which encodes an efflux pump (M-phenotype), identified in 57.84% of the macrolide-resistant strains. The next frequently prevalent mechanism was a combination of mef(A) and erm(B) in 22.55%, which determined high-level inducible or constitutive resistance to macrolides, lincosamides and streptogramins (iMLSB or cMLSB). The highest MIC value (>256mg/L) was detected in association with erm(B) (p<0.05). The MIC range was observed to be much higher in the isolates with combinations of resistance genes vs. those with mef genes alone (p<0.05).The data about the distribution and prevalence of macrolide resistance mechanisms obtained in this study can help in the treatment of persistent and recurrent GAS infections and in the correct choice of empiric therapy." @default.
