Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Antimicrobial Resistance in Streptococci Isolated from Human and Animal Clinical Specimens.

ABSTRACT: Recently, the phenomenon of infection of humans as hosts by animal pathogens has been increasing. Streptococcus is an example of a genus in which bacteria overcome the species barrier. Therefore, monitoring infections caused by new species of human pathogens is critical to their spread. Seventy-five isolates belonging to streptococcal species that have recently been reported as a cause of human infections with varying frequency, were tested. The aim of the study was to determine the drug resistance profiles of the tested strains, the occurrence of resistance genes and genes encoding the most important streptococcal virulence factors. All tested isolates retained sensitivity to β-lactam antibiotics. Resistance to tetracyclines occurred in 56% of the tested strains. We have detected the MLS<
