Features of resistance of major pathogens of respiratory tract infections in Dnipropetrovsk region

According to the retrospective analysis of data obtained for the period of the last four years, the resistance level of major infectious agents (Strepto¬coccus pneumoniae, Hаemophilus influenzaе) to the most of commonly used classes of antibacterial agents (β-lactams, macrolides, lincosamides, fluoroquinolones) was rather low, except for the established resistance level of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (19% of tested strains were resistant to oxacillin). Multiply resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae strains in Dnipropetrovsk region was 4,3%. Prognosed by world-wide trials growth of bacterial resistance levels requires decrease of the irrational antibiotics using and constant monitoring of resistance in each region and in the country as a whole to preserve the potential of clinical effective antibacterial agents.
