Objective To obtain information on the distribution of serotypes and antimicrobial agents susceptibilities to group B streptococcus(GBS) strains. Methods Bacterial isolates of GBS were obtained from vaginal and cervical tract of pregnant and nonpregnant women in Beijing Tian Tan Hospital. A total of 76 GBS strains were identified finally by Coagglutination. Serotyping was determinted by Standard Lancefield method. Susceptibility to test agents was assessed by determining the mininum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) with agar dilution method that was established by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS). Results Seven serotypes were identified among 76 GBS strains isolates. Type II(33%), III(23%) and Ia(16%) were the predominantly serotypes in pregnant and nonpregnant women. MICs of penicillin G and anpicillin were≤0.06 ?g/ml; MICs of cephazolin,cefuroxime, cefoperozone were 0.006~0.03 ?g/ml; MICs of erythromycin was 0.003~0.03 ?g/ml;MICs of gentamycin was 1~32 ?g/ml,MICs of amikacin was 4~≥64 ?g/ml,nearly 12.8% and 40.4% the strains were resistant to gentamycin and amikacin,respectively. Conclusion Our study provide useful epidemiologic data for preparation of GBS type specific vaccines which can prevent GBS infections and antimicrobial agents susceptibility patterns in China. Routine reports on GBS susceptibolities by clinical laboratories and continuous surveillance for changes in the susceptibility is of considerable clinical importance.

Objective To indicate the restriction profiles of pbps in Streptococcus pneumoniae(S.pneumoniae), and relationship between pbps profiles and the penicillin MIC.Methods The E-test MIC method was used to determinate penicillin susceptibility of 132 S.pneumoniae strains consisting of 69 penicillin susceptible S.pneumoniae (PSSP) strains and 63 nonsusceptible S.pneumoniae (PNSP) strains. Furthermore, we compared these strains by detecting restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the PBPs genes pbp1a, pbp2b and pbp2x.Results The RFLP results showed that 9 genotypes were founded for pbp1a, in which 2 were detected from PSSP and some PNSP strains. The other 7 ones were founded mainly in the PNSP with penicillin MIC≥0.25 ?g/ml. Ten genotypes were founded for pbp2b, in which 3 were detected from PSSP and some PNSP strains. The other 7 ones, similar with pbp1a, were founded mainly in the PNSP with penicillin MIC≥0.25 ?g/ml. Thirty-one restrictive patterns were founded for pbp2x. Seventeen patternss from them were detected in PSSP, and 13 ones were founded only in PSSP. The other 14 patterns all were covered PNSP strains. A total of 47 patterns were found according to the three pbps types. Twenty-three patterns from them were detected in PSSP, and 17 ones were founded only in PSSP. The other 24 patterns all were detected in PNSP.Conclusions Results of the study are consistent with the concept that mutations in PBP1a, PBP2b and PBP2x play an important role in the development of resistance to ?-lactam antibiotics by S.pneumoniae. In the meantime, the profiles of pbps can predict penicillin susceptibility.

Objective To distinguish BRO ?-lactamase by use of restriction endonuclease analysis and investigate antibacterial agents resistance of Moraxella catarrhalis(M. Catarrhalis) with different BRO ?-lactamases .Methods Nasopharyngeal swabs of children with respiratory tract infections from the outpatient department of Beijing Children's Hospital were cultured for isolating M.Catarrhalis. BSAC(british society for antimicrobial chemotherapy) agar diffusion test was used to determine antibacterial agents resistance of M.Catarrhalis.Nitrocefin disk was used to detect ?-lactamase. Restriction endonuclease analysis was used to distinguish BRO ?-lactamases . Antibacterial agents resistance of M. Catarrhalis with different bro genes was compared.Results (1)95.0% of the 80 strains were beta-lactamase positive. MIC 90 of ampicillin was 32 ?g/ml and MIC 90 of cefuroxime,cefaclor and cefotaxime were 4 ?g/ml,8?g/ml and 1?g/ml respectively,MIC 90 of tetracycline was 16?g/ml. Among the antibacterial agents,ciprofloxacin was the most sensintive agent.(2)Among 80 strains,6(7.5%) Strains were bro negative,55(68.8%) were bro-1 positive,19(23.8%)were bro-2 positive。Except 2 strains,the results of ?-lactamases were same as the results of nitrocefin disk and restriction endonuclease analysis.(3)Compared with bro-2 positive strains,the MIC value of ampicillin and cefaclor for bro-1 positive strains were higher.Conclusions Antibacterial agents resistance of M. Catarrhalis to ampicillin was sierous in China. It should be strengthened to monitor antibacterial agents resistance of M.Catarrhalis. Restriction endonuclease analysis can play an important role on characterizing bro genes,evaluating antibacterial agents resistance of Moraxella Catarrhalis to ?-lactam and investigating molecular epideminology
