Abstract:
Objective To discuss the epidemiological situation of Streptococcus pyogens infection and drug sensitivity results in children in Meilong area in Shanghai,China,and provided scientific pathogen information for clinic infection control and treatment.Methods This was a retrospective study.The group A Streptococcus pyogens strains which were isolated from a total of 1 069 throat swab samples of pediatrics patients between May 2014 and April 2015,the strains were used the method of molecular biology for emm type and MLST and PFGE,part of the strains were used the Kirby-Bauer method for drug sensitivity test.To analyze the infection characteristics,epidemic tendency and drug sensitivity of GAS in different seasons and different age groups.Results A total of 274 S.pyogens strains were detected,the positive rate was 25.63％,the main types of emm were emm1(38.83％)and emm12(52.75％),the others were 8.42％.The main types of MLST were ST-28,ST-36,ST-49.emm types were closely related with MLST and PFGE clust.Among them,emm1/ST28,emm12/ST36,emm75/ST49 were related to each other,the same emm types were mostly the same cluster of PFGE.During this study,the patients were 3-13 years old,and the high infection age were 6-11 years old.The prevalent infection time were May 2014 and June 2014 and between Novemer 2014 to January 2015 and April 2015.The sensitivity rate of beta-lactamase drugs such as penicillin and ampicillin and levofloxacin,vancomycin and linezolid were 100％,the resistance rate of clindamycin and erythromycin and tetracycline were more than 95％.Conclusion The most popular genotype of GAS was emm12,the main age of infected patients were 6-11 years old,and the epidemic season were winter-spring and early summer in Meilong area,Shanghai,China,and beta-lactamase drugs were the first choice for GAS infection.
