Abstract In 2009, in the Active Bacterial Core surveillance sites, penicillin was not commonly used to treat meningococcal disease. This is likely because of inconsistent availability of antimicrobial susceptibility testing and ease of use of third-generation cephalosporins. Consideration of current practices may inform future meningococcal disease management guidelines.

From 43.574 fluid nasopharynx speciments of  the chidren inpatient under six we isolated total 21.769 types bacteria with isolation rate : 49.95%. In which the highest isolation rate for H. influenza, S. pneumoniae and M. catarrhalis were 13,94%; 7,11%; 1,43% respectively. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing shown all the types of  for H. influenza, S. pneumoniae and M. catarrhalis good susses to Fosphomycine, S. pneumoniae and M. catarrhalis good susses to Imipenem, H. influenza good susses to Azithromycine, S. pneumoniae good susses to Penicilline and Piperacilline, M. catarrhalis good susses to Tobramycine and Ofloxacine. All of  H. influenza, S. pneumoniae and M. catarrhalis were reported resistance to Tri/Sulpha, Chloramphenicol, Erythromycine in high rate.

AbstractThe worldwide emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance is accelerated by irrational administration and use of empiric antibiotics. A key point to the crisis is a lack of rapid diagnostic protocols for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), which is crucial for a timely and rational antibiotic prescription. Here, a recombinant bacteriophage tail fiber protein (TFP) was functionalized on magnetic particles to specifically capture Pseudomonas aeruginosa, while fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled-magainin II was utilized as the indicator. For solving the magnetic particles’ blocking effects, a reverse assaying protocol based on TFP recognition was developed to investigate the feasibility of detection and AST of P. aeruginosa. P. aeruginosa can be rapidly, sensitively and specifically detected within 1.5 h with a linear range of 1.0 × 102 to 1.0 × 106 colony forming units (CFU)⋅mL−1 and a detection limit of 3.3 × 10 CFU⋅mL−1. Subsequently, AST results, which were consistent with broth dilution results, can be obtained within 3.5 h. Due to the high specificity of the TFP, AST can actually be conducted without the need for bacterial isolation and identification. Based on the proof-of-principle work, the detection and AST of other pathogens can be extended by expressing the TFPs of their bacteriophages.
