Phenotypical and genotypical surveillance of macrolide and lincosamide resistance in group B streptococcus in Belgium
peer reviewed ; Background: Constant increase of erythromycin (E) and clindamycin (C) resistance (R) has been observed worldwide among isolates of group B streptococci (GBS). In Belgium, through the 2000s, E R increased rapidly from 10% to up to 30%. Therefore phenotypical and molecular surveillance of E and C R has to be conducted. Methods: 275 clinical isolates (N1) were obtained from a Belgian surveillance for invasive GBS disease in newborns (59 isolates with 32 early- and 27 late-onset diseases) and adults (216 strains) during 2008 to 2011 and 53 isolates (N2) from vagino-rectal colonizat...
