Low Concentrations of Mupirocin in the Pharynx following Intranasal Application May Contribute to Mupirocin Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Watanabe, Hiroshi, Masaki, Hironori, Asoh, Norichika, Watanabe, Kiwao, Oishi, Kazunori, Kobayashi, Shinobu, ...

We describe a patient with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonizing the pharynx. The MIC of mupirocin was 0.25 μg/ml before treatment and increased after treatment to 8 μg/ml....

High Rate of Transmission of Penicillin-Resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae between Parents and Children

Hoshino, Kazuhiko, Watanabe, Hiroshi, Sugita, Rinya, Asoh, Norichika, Ntabaguzi, Simon Angelo, Watanabe, Kiwao, ...

Transmission of Streptococcus pneumoniae between children and their parents was evaluated in 29 pairs from 25 families. The serotypes of 35 pneumococcal isolates from 18 (62.1%) of 29 child-parent...
