摘要: Despite the use of levofloxacin prophylaxis during neutropenic period after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, viridans group (VG) streptococcal bacteremia developed in 6 (16.2%) 37 patients who underwent transplantation between 1 January and 25 February 2001 at Mayo Clinic Rochester, Minnesota. All presented with fever mucositis a mean 4.5 days neutropenia, 3 septic shock. VG isolates from these exhibited distinct patterns on pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. had diminished susceptibility to levofloxacin, 5 gatifloxacin, 4 moxifloxacin. Quinolone resistance was associated mutations quinolone resistance-determining region GyrA (for isolate) ParC. The may select streptococci other quinolones enhanced activity against gram-positive organisms and, therefore, not be optimal for preventing patients.
