ABSTRACT
Working with material collected from the nose and pharynx of fifty newborn babies (four days old), the authors isolated antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus pyogenes in 22 cases, 44% of the infants. All Staphylococci isolated were resistant to penicillin, and almost all were resistant to streptomycin, chlortetracycline, and oxytetracycline. The results showed that there were antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus pyogenes in the nursery of the Clinical Hospital of the Medical School of Ribeirão Preto. The authors suggest that the nursery can be a possible source of Staphylococci infections in which penicillin, streptomycin, chlortetracycline are not effective.
RESUMO
Os autores, colhendo material da nasofaringe de 50 recém-nascidos de 4 dias de idade, isolaram de 22 (44%), Staphylococcus pyogenes. A totalidade dos estafilococos mostrou-se resistente à penicilina e a maioria à estreptomicina, clorotetraciclina e oxitetraciclina. Diante desses resultados, concluem os autores que no Berçário do Hospital das Clínicas de Ribeirão Preto existem Staphylococcus pyogenes, antibiótico-resistentes, possível fonte de estafilococias para as quais, penicilina, estreptomicina, clorotetraciclina e oxitetraciclina não deveriam ser indicadas.
