Antibiotic susceptibility patterns of viridans group streptococci isolates in the United States from 2010 to 2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Viridans group streptococci (VGS) are typically part of the commensal flora but can also cause severe invasive diseases such as infective endocarditis. There are limited data available showing antibiotic susceptibility over time for VGS.

Objectives

To evaluate antibiotic susceptibility trends in VGS over time.

Methods

In vitro susceptibility patterns for 33 antibiotics were examined for Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus oralis, and non-speciated VGS isolates from patients in Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Centers in the United States between 2010 and 2020. Susceptibility determinations were made by the individual clinical microbiology laboratories and data were retrospectively collected from the VA Corporate Data Warehouse. Susceptibili
