Frequency and antimicrobial resistance of gram-positive bacterial pathogens from bloodstream infections in the Czech Republic

Original language description

The strains of Staphylococcus aureus (39 %), coagulase-negative staphylococci (34 %), Streptococcus pneumoniae (11 %) and Enterococcuss spp. (9 %) were identified as the etiologic agent of gram-positive BSI. The frequency of oxacillin-resistant strains was in Staphylococcus aureus and in coagulase-negative staphylococci 10 and 41 % respectively. All Streptococcus pneumoniae strains were susceptible to penicillin and chloramphenicol. No strains resistant to glycopeptides were found in enterococci. Clinical significance of isolated gram-positive bacteria was significantly conditioned by bacterial species (p=0.001) and reached 100 % in Streptococcus pneumoniae, 87 % in Staphylococcus aureus, 82 % in Enterococcus spp. strains and 10 % in coagulase-negativestaphylococci.The study was supported by the IGA Ministry of Health, CR grant No. NI/7305-3.
