Isolation of Quinupristin/Dalfopristin-Resistant Streptococcus agalactiae from Asymptomatic Korean Women: Hye Ran Nam , Hak Mee Lee , Yeonhee Lee; J. Microbiol. 2008;46(1):108-111.; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s12275-007-0217-1

Abstract: Seven Streptococcus agalactiae isolates were obtained from the vagina of 80 asymptomatic women. Three of these isolates showed multi-drug resistant (MDR) phenotypes: two isolates were resistant to clarithromycin, clindamycin, erythromycin, and tetracycline; and one isolate was resistant to clarithromycin, clindamycin, erythromycin, tetracycline, and quinupristin/dalfopristin. There was no clonal relationship among the MDR isolates. This is the first report of quinupristin/dalfopristin-resistant S. agalactiae.
