A comprehensive analysis of antimicrobial resistance of clinical <i>emm</i>89 <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> in Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Streptococcus pyogenes is involved in a wide range of diseases, including pharyngitis and life-threatening invasive infections. Increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been reported worldwide in various bacteria, limiting the use of antibiotics in infection cases. The present study investigated the AMR of most prevalent S. pyogenes emm types, including emm89 strains in Japan.

Methods

A total of 368 previously identified S. pyogenes isolates (311 emm89 strains and 57 of other emm types), which were previously isolated from patients with invasive and non-invasive infections throughout Japan, were used in the analyses. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of seven antibiotics, including penicillin-G, azit
