Nosocomial transmission of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae

Two patients were found to harbor intermediate‐level penicillin‐resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in a pediatric hospital setting. For the first patient, the bacterium was isolated from a tracheal aspirate, and for the second patient, a positive blood culture was found a short time after the index...

description Two patients were found to harbor intermediate‐level penicillin‐resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in a pediatric hospital setting. For the first patient, the bacterium was isolated from a tracheal aspirate, and for the second patient, a positive blood culture was found a short time after the index case. Two molecular typing techniques (enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequence polymerase chain reaction, and repetitive sequence‐based polymerase chain reaction) demonstrated homology among these isolates, which suggests person‐to‐person spread. We propose the need for institution‐based infection control precautions that will limit the spread of penicillin‐resistant pneumococci. Pediatr Pulmonol. 1999; 27:432–434. © 1999 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
