Issue Date: | 2012 | Publisher: | CENTERS DISEASE CONTROL | Source: | EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES, 18 (9), p. 1515-1518 | Abstract: | In Belgium, decreasing macrolide, lincosamide, streptogramins B, and tetracycline use during 1997-2007 correlated significantly with decreasing macrolide-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes during 1999-2009. Maintaining drug use below a critical threshold corresponded with low-level macrolide-resistant S. pyogenes and an increased number of erm(A)-harboring emm77 S. pyogenes with low fitness costs. | Notes: | Malhotra-Kumar, S (reprint author),[Van Heirstraeten, Liesbet; Coenen, Samuel; Lammens, Christine; Hens, Niel; Goossens, Herman; Malhotra-Kumar, Surbhi] Univ Antwerp, B-2020 Antwerp, Belgium.
