J Infect Dis . 2003 Aug; 188(5):643-52. PMID: 12934179
Persons with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have a higher incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) than other adults, and many receive long-term trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) prophylactic therapy. We used 1998-1999 data...

Weigel L, Anderson G, Facklam R, Tenover F
Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 2001 Nov; 45(12):3517-23. PMID: 11709333
Twenty-one clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae showing reduced susceptibility or resistance to fluoroquinolones were characterized by serotype, antimicrobial susceptibility, and genetic analyses of the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of gyrA,...

Shewmaker P, Steigerwalt A, Shealey L, Weyant R, Facklam R
J Clin Microbiol . 2001 Oct; 39(11):4052-7. PMID: 11682529
DNA-DNA reassociation was performed on 15 strains of Globicatella sanguinis to compare their taxonomic status with phenotypic characterization. All 15 strains selected for DNA-DNA reassociation readily met the criteria for...

Hyde T, Gay K, Stephens D, Vugia D, Pass M, Johnson S, et al.
JAMA . 2001 Oct; 286(15):1857-62. PMID: 11597287
Context: Macrolide antibiotics, including erythromycin, clarithromycin, and azithromycin, are the mainstays of empirical pneumonia therapy. Macrolide resistance among Streptococcus pneumoniae, the most common cause of community-acquired pneumonia, is increasing in...

Teixeira L, Carvalho M, Espinola M, Steigerwalt A, Douglas M, Brenner D, et al.
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol . 2001 Oct; 51(Pt 5):1737-1743. PMID: 11594604
Recent insights have been brought to the taxonomy of the genus Enterococcus by studies applying whole-cell protein analysis and DNA-DNA reassociation experiments, in addition to conventional physiological tests. Using these...

Christensen J, Facklam R
J Clin Microbiol . 2001 Sep; 39(10):3520-3. PMID: 11574566
One hundred one isolates of nutritionally variant streptococci from 97 patients were phenotypically characterized and compared with the type strains of Granulicatella adiacens (formerly Abiotrophia adiacens) (ATCC 49175(T)) Abiotrophia defectiva...

Clin Infect Dis . 2001 Aug; 33(6):797-805. PMID: 11512085
Limited data are available about the impact of antimicrobial resistance on clinical outcomes in cases of pneumococcal pneumonia. This was studied in 146 persons hospitalized with invasive pneumonia due to...

J Clin Microbiol . 2001 Apr; 39(4):1241-6. PMID: 11283035
Seventy-two strains of pediococci isolated from human clinical sources were characterized by conventional physiological tests, chromogenic enzymatic tests, analysis of whole-cell protein profiles (WCPP) by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis,...
