Выделение стрептококков групп А, С, G у детей младшего школьного возраста и их характеристика с использованием методов молекулярной эпидемиологии.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. Изоляты стрептококков групп А, С и G выделяли с поверхности миндалин и задней стенки глотки у 1359 детей младшего школьного возраста во Вьетнаме в 2012–2014 гг. Видовую принадлежность стрептококков групп С и G выявляли с помощью экспресс-метода дифференциальной ПЦР-диагностики и секвенирования гена rnpB. Наличие генов вирулентности scpA, lmb, nga, slo у штаммов S. anginosus и S. dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis анализировали с использованием ПЦР. emm-типирование штаммов S. pyogenes проводили согласно методике, опубликованной на сайте Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/biotech/strep/M-ProteinGene_typing. htm). Спектр антибиотикорезистентности штаммов определяли диско-диффузионным методом.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. В результате микробиологического исследования материала с миндалин и задней стенки глотки были выделены и идентифицированы 49 штаммов стрептококков группы А (S. pyogenes), 8 штаммов стрептококков группы С (4 штамма – S. anginosus, по 1 штамму – S. dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis, S. parasanguinis, S. gordonii, S. constellatus) и 75 штаммов стрептококков группы G (55 штаммов – S. anginosus, 8 штаммов – S. dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis, 4 штамма – S. sanguinis, 3 штамма – S. parasanguinis, 2 – штамма S. australis, 2 штамма – S. constellatus, 1 штамм – S. mitis). Среди 47 штаммов S. pyogenes было выявлено 15 emm-подтипов, относящихся к 11 emm-типам. Доминирующими оказались редко встречающиеся генотипы emm104.0 и emm109.1. Выявлен геномный полиморфизм штаммов S. anginosus по наличию генов вирулентности. Все исследованные штаммы были чувствительны к цефалоспоринам и ванкомицину и устойчивы к амикацину. 70% штаммов S. pyogenes были устойчивы к тетрациклину и 52,5% – к эритромицину.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Objectives</title><p>Objectives. The goal of the study was to isolate group A, С, and G streptococci from children and characterize them by the methods of molecular epidemiology.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. Group A, С, and G streptococci were isolated from tonsils and back wall of pharynx of Vietnamese children during 2012–2014. сpn60 gene based PCR approach and rnpB gene sequencing were used to identify streptococcal species belonging to group С and G streptococci. The presence of scpA, lmb, nga, slo virulence genes was analyzed in S. anginosus and S. dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis strainS. emm-typing of S. pyogenes was done as published (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/biotech/strep/MProteinGene_typing.htm). Antibiotic resistance of the strains was tested by the disk diffusion method.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. A total of 1359 children were examined. Group A streptococci (S. pyogenes) were isolated from 49 children, group C streptococci – from 8 children (4 stains – S. anginosus, 1 strain – S. dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis, 1 strain – S. parasanguinis, 1 strain – S. gordonii, 1 strain – S. constellatus), and group G streptococci – from 75 children (55 stains – S. anginosus, 8 stains – S. dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis, 4 stains – S. sanguinis, 3 stains – S. parasanguinis, 2 stains – S. australis, 2 stains – S. constellatus, 1 stain – S. mitis). emm-typing of 47 S. pyogenes strains revealed 15 different emm-subtypes belonging to 11 different emm-typeS. The subtypes emm104.0 and emm109.1 were found to be predominant. S. anginosus strains under study were genetically heterogeneous for the presence of virulence genes. All tested strains were susceptible to cephalosporins and vancomycin, and resistant to amikacine. A total of 70% and 52,5% of S. pyogenes were resistant to tetracycline and erythromycin, respectively.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>патогенные стрептококки</kwd><kwd>тропический климат</kwd><kwd>emm-типирование</kwd><kwd>гены вирулентности</kwd><kwd>антибиотикорезистентность</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>pathogenic streptococci</kwd><kwd>tropical climate</kwd><kwd>emm-typing</kwd><kwd>virulence genes</kwd><kwd>antibiotic resistance</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Lindbaek M, Hoiby EA, Lermark G, Steinsholt IM, Hjortdahl P.
