The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial resistance of Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS), and correlate the findings with the sales of erythromycin and tetracycline. General practitioners in the Faroe Islands were recruited to send oropharyngeal swabs. From an ongoing pneumococcal study, nasopharyngeal swabs were sampled from healthy children 0-7 years of age. Erythromycin susceptibility data from Iceland were obtained from the reference laboratory at the Landspitali University Hospital. Susceptibility testing in the Faroe Islands and Iceland was performed according to CLSI methods and criteria. The resistance rate to erythromycin and tetracycline found in patients in the Faroe Islands in 2009/2010 was 6% and 30% respectively. Tetracycline resistance in patients declined significantly from 2009 to 2010 (37-10%, p-value = 0.006 < 0.05) and differed significantly between age groups (p-value = 0.03 < 0.05). In Iceland, there was a peak in erythromycin resistance in 2008 (44%) and a substantial decrease in 2009 (5%). Although the prevalence of erythromycin and tetracycline resistance in the Faroe Islands and Iceland may be associated with antimicrobial use, sudden changes can occur with the introduction of new resistant clones.

Resistant pathogens are an increasing threat affecting millions of people globally. More complicated patients are presented with pathogens harboring new resistance mechanisms, while the pipeline of new antimicrobials hardly proposes solutions. In such a scenario, more severely ill patients remain with no adequate treatment to offer. In addition, massive misuse of antimicrobials, including excessive length of treatment or wrong dosage, also contributes to increasing the rate of pathogens resistance to antimicrobials. Isolation of Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus-GAS) is the main indication for antibiotic treatment to patients diagnosed with acute tonsillitis. Hence, GAS resistance to antibiotics requires periodic monitoring.. To assess susceptibility rates of GAS to penicillin, macrolides, clindamycin, and tetracycline in northern Israel and to compare the findings to the high antimicrobial susceptibility of GAS isolates reported in the same region in 2004 and to other geographical areas.. Throat samples from 300 outpatients were collected and cultured at the regional laboratory of Emek Medical Center during September to October 2011.. In 300 samples, the susceptibility rates of GAS to penicillin, erythromycin, azithromycin, clindamycin, and tetracycline in northern Israel still remain very high.. Continuous control of antimicrobials usage and periodic surveillance of susceptibility rates, together with educational programs and appropriate and targeted treatment protocols, are essential and highly recommended to keep these high susceptibility rates for as long as possible.

During the winter months 1974/75 we were able to observe a number of unusual respiratory tract infections particularly in children over 6 years of age which appeared as pneumonias. Characteristic clinical findings included a dry, hacky cough, refractive to the usual antitussives, starting 1--2 weeks prior to admission, fever up to 104, malaise, headache, anorexia, shortness of breath and cyanosis. Several Pts were treated prior to admission with a number of antibiotics and failed to respond. Laboratory findings showed a peripheral polymorphonuclear leucocytosis with toxic granulations of neutrophiles. A sedimentation rate above 40 in the first hour occurred in most Pts. X Ray of the lung revealed a characteristic mottled appearance with patchy infiltrations, atelectasis and nodular densities. Frequently a shift of the mediastinum towards the infiltrate was seen. One of the hallmarks on physical examination was the discrepancy between the severity of the clinical illness and the paucity of physical findings. Decreased breath sounds over affected lung areas were often the only findings on auscultation; find rales, rhonchi or dullness on percussion were less often heard. The combination of a typical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and X Ray findings enabled us to make a presumptive clinical diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumonia before serologic test results were available and to start with the appropriate antibiotic (Erythromycin, Tetracycline) early in the course of the disease. Complement fixation tests with a titer of 1 : 20 and a fourfold rise over the next two weeks or an initial titer of 1 : 80 and above were considered significant for acute disease.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae were cultured from tonsillar swabs in six men and six women out of 161 consecutive, unselected, Danish patients (95 men and 66 women) suffering from urogenital or rectal gonorrhoea. Gonococci were found in the tonsils in only one out of 49 foreign men with gonorrhoea. Eleven of the Danish patients admitted orogenital contact at their most recent intercourse. The gonococcal complement fixation test was negative in all except two cases. Standard singledose treatment cured the urogenital and rectal infections promptly but failed to cure the tonsillar infection in five cases, and in recalcitrant cases the organisms were demonstrable for some months.
