Resistance patterns of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae to standard antibiotics in Thailand is not on the rise when compared to previous reports. There is no need at present to change standard antibiotic therapy recommendations for pneumonia by the National ARI. The use of antibiotics for the treatment or prophylactic purposes should be judicious to limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance. This study is the main part of a National surveillance for antimicrobial resistance of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae. The surveillance programme should be continued to evaluate trends in order to up-date guidelines for the selection of antibiotics of the ARI programme in the future.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D010406 Penicillins A group of antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group. The penicillin nucleus is the chief structural requirement for biological activity. The side-chain structure determines many of the antibacterial and pharmacological characteristics.

D002675 Child, Preschool A child between the ages of 2 and 5. Children, Preschool,Preschool Child,Preschool Children
D002701 Chloramphenicol An antibiotic first isolated from cultures of Streptomyces venequelae in 1947 but now produced synthetically. It has a relatively simple structure and was the first broad-spectrum antibiotic to be discovered. It acts by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis and is mainly bacteriostatic.

D004352 Drug Resistance, Microbial The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).
