Antimicrobial resistance of Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from humans in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Listeria monocytogenes is generally susceptible to a wide range of antimicrobials. However resistant or multidrug-resistant strains of L. monocytogens isolated from human, food or environment were reported, too. The aim of this study was to observe whether the susceptibility of L. monocytogenes of human origin has changed in the period from 2001 to 2012 in the Czech Republic. In total, 169 human strains isolated from different regions of the Czech Republic were tested. Strains originated from blood cultures (83), cerebrospinal fluid (28) and other material (58) like newborns, liver, etc. Phenotypic resistance testing has been performed by the disk diffusion method according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI, 2006). Following antimicrobial agents were tested: ampicillin, penicillin, erythromycin, gentamicin, trimethoprim, vancomycin, tetracyclin and chloramfenicol. The zone diametr breakpoints for Staphylococcus spp.
