  • Title: Genetic relatedness of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from paired blood and respiratory specimens.
    Author: Harrell LJ, Sharps SK, Bean RA, Reller LB.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2007 Jun; 45(6):2017-9. PubMed ID: 17428934.
    Abstract:
    To assess the relatedness of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates recovered concurrently from blood and respiratory tract specimens from patients with pneumonia, we analyzed 24 paired isolates by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), serotyping, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. PFGE, serotype, and/or susceptibility patterns were identical for 22 of 24 pairs. Susceptibility results for blood isolates should guide therapy.
