Staphylococcus Pyogenes: Still a Danger?
Abstract
Summary: A prospective study of sensitivity patterns of Staph. pyogenes strains isolated from samples sent to the diagnostic laboratory of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, has shown that penicillin resistance is frequent, and that 19 per cent of the penicillin-resistant strains obtained from in-patients were also resistant to methicillin. Most of the methicillin-resistant strains were isolated from adult patients; the strains do not appear to have become estab lished at the moment in either the childrens' wards, or among the out-patient population.
