Interaction between erythromycin and lincomycin in Streptococcus pyogenes.

D I Annear

    Journal of Medical Microbiology
    |May 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Streptococcus pyogenes strains exhibited varied resistance to erythromycin and lincomycin. Antagonism was observed between these antibiotics in most strains, while one showed synergism.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Bacteriology
    • Antimicrobial Resistance

    Background:

    • Streptococcus pyogenes is a significant human pathogen.
    • Understanding antibiotic resistance patterns is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Erythromycin and lincomycin are important antibiotics used against S. pyogenes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the resistance profiles of Streptococcus pyogenes to erythromycin and lincomycin.
    • To determine the interactions (antagonism or synergism) between erythromycin and lincomycin in S. pyogenes.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolation and identification of Streptococcus pyogenes strains.
    • Antimicrobial susceptibility testing for erythromycin and lincomycin.
    • Evaluation of antibiotic interactions using standard microbiological methods.

    Main Results:

    • Ten S. pyogenes strains showed moderate resistance to erythromycin and high, paradoxical resistance to lincomycin.
    • Antagonism between erythromycin and lincomycin was observed in these ten strains.
    • One S. pyogenes strain was moderately resistant to erythromycin and sensitive to lincomycin, exhibiting synergism with both antibiotics.

    Conclusions:

    • Streptococcus pyogenes can display complex resistance mechanisms to macrolides and lincosamides.
    • Antibiotic interactions can vary, impacting therapeutic strategies.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms behind observed antagonism and synergism.
