Antibiotic resistance patterns among respiratory pathogens at a german university children’s hospital over a period of 10 years

Growing antimicrobial resistance among Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis is raising major concern worldwide. Strains of S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis isolated from children with respiratory tract as well as invasive infection in a South-Western region of Germany between 1993 and 2002 were tested for susceptibility to common antibiotics including penicillins, cephalosporins and macrolides. A total of 2,362 S. pneumoniae, 2,501 H. influenzae, and 1,982 M. catarrhalis isolates were tested. Only two S. pneumoniae strains were found to be highly resistant to penicillin. The overall rate of intermediate resistance to penicillin was 3.5%. There was a significant increase in erythromycin resistance from 5% in 1993 to 12.2% in 2002 ( P =0.001). No increase in ampicillin resistance was observed for H. influenzae over time. The rate of cefaclor resistance, however, increased from 4.5% to 11.8% ( P <0.0001). Furthermore, a massive increase in erythromycin resistance from 26% to 40% was observed ( P <0.0001). The vast majority of M. catarrhalis isolates were -lactamase positive, the minimal inhibitory concentration to ampicillin, however, exceeded only in 3% of all strains the cut-off of 1.5 mg/l. The erythromycin resistance rate of M. catarrhalis was 0.3%. Conclusion:There is still a low rate of penicillin/ampicillin resistance in S. pneumoniae, and H. influenzae, but an alarming increase in resistance to erythromycin, and in H. influenzae a significant increase in cefaclor resistance was observed over the 10-year period in South-Western Germany.     

Microbiological aspects of vulvovaginitis in prepubertal girls

This study aimed to establish the vaginal introitus microbial flora in girls with and without symptoms of vulvovaginitis, and to present the distribution of isolated microorganisms by age groups in girls with vulvovaginitis. We enrolled 500 girls with vulvovaginitis symptoms, aged 2-12 years, referred by their pediatricians for microbiological examination of the vaginal introitus swabs, and 30 age-matched asymptomatic girls. Similar microbial flora was isolated in both groups, but the symptomatic girls had significantly more common positive microbiological findings compared to controls (p?相似文献

Airway microbiology and host defences in paediatric non-CF bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis in children without cystic fibrosis is most common in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities. Recurrent pneumonia in early childhood and defective pulmonary defences are important risk factors. These help establish a 'vicious cycle' of impaired mucociliary clearance, infection, airway inflammation and progressive lung injury. Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the main infecting pathogens. H. influenzae predominates across all ages, while P. aeruginosa is found in older children with advanced disease. It is uncertain whether viruses and upper airway commensal bacteria play an important aetiological role. Overall, the microbiological data are limited however and there are difficulties obtaining reliable respiratory specimens from young children. Bronchiectasis is a complex disorder resulting from susceptibility to pulmonary infection and poorly regulated respiratory innate and adaptive immunity. Airway inflammatory responses are excessive and persist, even once infection is cleared. Improved specimen collection, molecular techniques and biomarkers are needed to enhance management.     

Amniotic Fluid Infection Syndrome and Neonatal Mortality Caused by Eikenella corrodens

Different microorganisms not commonly found in the female genital tract have been implicated as causative agents for amniotic fluid infections. Eikenella corrodens is part of the normal flora in the human oral cavity and upper respiratory tract. It is most commonly found in the clinical setting of polymicrobial infections involving human bite wounds, head and neck infections, and periodontitis. On rare occasions, E. corrodens has been reported as a cause of gynecologic infections. There are only 3 reports of documented E. corrodens chorioamnionitis of the placenta resulting in preterm labor, one of which is associated with early neonatal demise. We report a case of preterm delivery of twin infants at 23 weeks of gestation with documented E. corrodens infection in 1 twin who was not resuscitated.     

Bacteremia in children at the University Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Background  Bacteremia is a major pediatric health care problem despite the availability of new modalities in the management of this disease. The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence and pattern of bacteremia in pediatric group at a tertiary hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods  This retrospective study was conducted at the Department of Pediatrics, College of Medicine, King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh in the period of January 2003 to January 2005. Positive culture was found in 259 patients aged below 15 years with a total of 8244 admissions in the period. Results  The highest incidence of bacteremia was found in patients aged less than 1 year (57.9%), and the majority of patients (30.5%) were infants aged less than 1 month. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common isolated pathogen (18.7%). Prematurity was associated with 13.2% of the cases, and respiratory tract infection (10.1%) and fever (76.1%) were chief complaints. Conclusions   Staphylococcus aureus is the most common isolated pathogen. The most common primary infections are respiratory tract infection and septic meningitis. Klebsiella pneumoniae and E. coli are the most common isolated Gram-negative organisms.     

Staphylococcus saprophyticus urinary tract infections in children

Staphylococcus saprophyticus commonly causes urinary tract infection (UTI) in young women: in males it is found mainly in the elderly. In this studyS. saprophyticus UTI occurred in 59 children (45 girls and 14 boys) below 16 years of age, of whom 20 were less than 13 years of age. The common presentation was dysuria and flank or back pain whereas fever 38.5°C was rare. Radiological investigation performed in 63% of the children revealed no anomalies of importance. Children withS. saprophyticus UTI appear to constitute a group with a low frequency of urinary tract anomalies and with a low risk of UTI caused by other bacteria.     

Day-care center attendance and hospitalization for lower respiratory tract illness

To identify risk factors associated with hospitalization for acute lower respiratory tract illness, 102 children less than 2 years of age admitted to four Atlanta metropolitan area hospitals between December 1984 and June 1985 with the diagnosis of lower respiratory tract illness were studied. The most common causative agent associated with illness was respiratory syncytial virus, followed by other respiratory viruses, Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. The 102 case-patients were compared with 199 age- and sex-matched controls. A parent or guardian for each patient and control was interviewed by telephone regarding demographic data, care outside the home, breast-feeding, previous medical history, allergies, and smoking and illness in household members. Five factors were associated with lower respiratory tract illness in both a univariate analysis and a multiple logistic regression model (P less than .05). These factors were the number of people sleeping in the same room with the child, a lack of immunization the month before the patient was hospitalized, prematurity, a history of allergy, and regular attendance in a day-care center (more than six children in attendance). Care received outside of the home in a day-care home (less than or equal to six children in attendance) was not associated with lower respiratory tract illness. The suggestion made by our study and other studies was that for children less than 2 years of age, care outside of the home is an important risk factor for acquiring lower respiratory tract illness, as well as other infectious diseases, and that this risk can be reduced by using a day-care home instead of a day-care center.     

Necrotizing pneumonia after pharyngitis due toFusobacterium necrophorum

A case of necrotizing pneumonia secondary toFusobacterium necrophorum is reported. This anaerobic infection commonly originates in the upper respiratory tract and is often accompanied by multiple system disease due to hematogenous seeding. When the lungs are involved, diffuse necrotizing pneumonia with pleural effusions and cavitation results. The course is prolonged, and the diagnosis is frequently delayed. With appropriate antibiotics, the prognosis is good.     

Respiratory morbidity from lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis (LIP) in vertically acquired HIV infection

Accepted 31 December 1996The aim of the study was to define the respiratory morbidity caused by lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis (LIP) in children with vertically acquired HIV infection. A retrospective case note review was performed on 95 children attending three London hospitals. Clinical and radiological evidence of LIP, acute lower respiratory tract infections, and chronic lung disease was obtained using a structured protocol. A diagnosis of LIP had been made in 33%, and an acute admission due to acute lower respiratory tract infection had occurred in 42% of all children (despite 99% taking regular co-trimoxazole prophylaxis). Admission rates because of acute lower respiratory tract infection were significantly higher in the LIP group (0.38 admissions/child year) than in the non-LIP group (0.17 admissions/child year) (p = 0.0002). Encapsulated bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae) were most frequently isolated. Improved methods of prevention of acute lower respiratory tract infection may help to reduce the severe respiratory morbidity seen in children with LIP and HIV infection.     

Antibiotic susceptibility of acute otitis media pathogens in otitis-prone Belgian children

A regional surveillance study was carried out in children with recurrent acute otitis media (AOM) to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of three common AOM pathogens. Susceptibility to relevant antimicrobial agents was determined on 149 Streptococcus pneumoniae, 246 Haemophilus influenzae and 119 Moraxella catarrhalis strains isolated between January 1999 and January 2002, either from the nasopharynx or middle ear of 74 children with recurrent AOM, the majority (77%) being otitis-prone. Overall pneumococcal resistance to penicillin was 9.4% (6.7% penicillin-intermediate resistant, 2.7% penicillin-resistant), whereas cotrimoxazole and erythromycin resistance accounted for 25.5% and 38.9% respectively. The prevalence of antimicrobial-non-susceptible S. pneumoniae was the highest in middle ear isolates (P<0.05) and in otitis-prone children (P<0.01). Moreover, otitis-prone children harboured significantly more pneumococci resistant to at least two antimicrobial agents (24.3% versus 7.4%; P<0.01). No patient age related variation was observed. Five serogoups (6, 19, 23, 14 and 9) covered by the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, constituted most of the antibiotic resistant pneumococci. Among nasopharyngeal and middle ear H. influenzae isolates, 17.1% were resistant to ampicillin and 16.3% to cotrimoxazole. For M. catarrhalis, 92.4% of all isolates was ampicillin-resistant. Conclusion: this study confirms international and national differences in antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of three acute otitis media pathogens with relatively favourable antibiotic resistance rates in Belgian children with frequent acute otitis media. This at risk population of otitis-prone children is shown to harbour more antimicrobial resistant and multidrug resistant pneumococci. If antimicrobial therapy in this group of children is indicated, high dose amoxicillin is recommended whereas the use of macrolides is obsolete.Abbreviations AOM acute otitis media - MEF middle ear fluid - MIC minimal inhibitory concentration     

Risk factors for carriage of respiratory pathogens in the nasopharynx of healthy children. Ascanius Project Collaborative Group.

OBJECTIVES: To assess risk factors for nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in a large sample of healthy children. METHODS: In this point prevalence survey nasopharyngeal specimens were obtained from 1723 healthy children, ages 1 to 7 years, attending day-care centers or schools in 18 Italian cities. Written questionnaires for obtaining information about the demographics and medical history of the children were completed by the parents in the presence of a pediatrician. RESULTS: The overall carrier rate of respiratory pathogens was 17.9% (S. pneumoniae, 3.5%; H. influenzae, 11.9%; M. catarrhalis, 4.1%). Only 5% of S. pneumoniae strains were penicillin-resistant whereas approximately 40% were erythromycin-resistant. Beta-lactamase production was found in 5.8% of H. influenzae and 88.7% of M. catarrhalis isolates. By multivariate analysis age (< or = 3 years), having older siblings, a history of prolonged full-time day-care attendance and living in a rural area significantly influenced the odds of carrying nasopharyngeal respiratory pathogens, particularly in children ages 1 to 5 years. Sex, breastfeeding, passive smoking and recent upper respiratory tract infections were not significant variables. Antibiotic treatment in the previous 3 months did not affect nasopharyngeal carriage, whereas repeated treatments with a macrolide were associated with carriage of S. pneumoniae. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that there is a strong and long term relationship between exposure to large numbers of children in the first years of life and nasopharyngeal carriage of all respiratory pathogens. In addition antimicrobial restrictive guidelines should be tailored to local microbiologic sceneries.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Mycoplasma pneumoniae</Emphasis>: nervous system complications in childhood and review of the literature

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is an important pathogen which causes nervous system disorders during or after the course of a respiratory tract infection. The exact pathogenic mechanism which causes neurological disorders still remains unknown. Although meningoencephalitis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis are common complications, there are few cases of acute transverse myelitis and isolated abducens nerve palsy associated with M. pneumoniae infection in childhood. The association between ocular myasthenia gravis and M. pneumoniae infection has not been described before. Here, we describe five patients with different nervous system complications associated with M. pneumoniae infection and discuss the pathological features of central nervous system involvement.     

Diaper Type as a Risk Factor in Urinary Tract Infection of Children

Objective

Urinary tract is one of the most common sources of infection in children under the age of two years. Many known and unknown risk factors predispose to this important disease in children. This study was conducted to determine whether using a specific type of diaper plays a role in urinary tract infection (UTI) in girls under the age of 2 years.

Methods

This case control study was performed in hospitalized children; girls with their first urinary tract infection were selected as cases, and those admitted for other reasons comprised the control group. Two groups were matched for age (±1 month), and other known risk factors for UTI. Type of diapers (superabsorbent, standard disposable and washable cotton), used for these children during six months, from October 2007 to March 2008, were compared in both groups.

Findings

59 matched pair infant girls less than 2 years were selected. It was revealed that in cases with UTI superabsorbent diapers were used more frequently than in controls (Odds ratio=3.29, P-value=0.005) There were no significant differences in other factors like number of diapers used per day, the time between defecation and diaper change, mothers’ educational level, level of family income and mother''s occupation.

Conclusion

The use of superabsorbent diapers could be a risk factor for urinary tract infection in infant girls.
