Abstract:
At the National Institute of Pediatrics, the cause of acute respiratory inflammation was studied. Most of pathogenic bacteria isolated from patients with pneumonia and bronchitis were S.pneumoniae (48%) and H.influenzae (44%). The methods using antibiotics dilution on agar to determine the minimum concentration of bacteria and PCR to determine the penicillin resistant gene sequences were used. Results showed that 58% of strains of S.pneumoniae were resistant to penicillin with a sensitivity 19%; 74% resistant to cefotaxin, sensitivity 16%. Other beta-lactamase antibiotics except ampicillin (resistance 35%, sensitivity 30%)
