The authors have made every effort to provide accurate information. However, they are not responsible for any errors, omissions, or for any outcomes related to the use of the contents of this book. Treatments and side effects described here may not be applicable to all patients; likewise, some patients may require a dose not described herein.

3 2 RESPIRATORY TRACT PATHOGENS Most respiratory tract infections are viral in aetiology, thus requiring no antibiotic therapy. Bacterial infections may complicate these. The following gures highlight the common pathogens detected in KZN in 216. Viral Number of posites on PCR Rhinovirus RSV M. pneumoniae Adenovirus Influenza A PIV (1-4) Influenza B Other (Parechovirus and Bocavirus) hmpv Enterovirus hcov (Oc43, 229E, Nl63, HKU1) Figure 6a: Respiratory viruses plus Mycoplasma pneumoniae as detected on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for 216. Rhinovirus was the most frequently detected viral respiratory pathogen. It was detected consistently throughout the year. It is associated with prolonged hospitalisation and increased risk for the development of asthma. Mycoplasma pneumoniae was the third most frequently detected organism indicating its importance as part of the differential diagnosis when presented with an atypical pneumonia. Adenovirus is an important pathogen in both children and adults, presenting with conditions ranging from conjunctitis and pharyngitis to pneumonia and lifethreatening systemic infections. It is present at consistent levels throughout the year.

4 3 RESPIRATORY TRACT PATHOGENS 4 Number of posites on PCR Jan-16 Feb-16 Mar-16 Apr-16 May-16 Jun-16 Jul-16 Aug-16 Sep-16 Oct-16 Nov-16 Dec-16 In uenza A In uenza B Rhinovirus RSV Adenovirus Figure 6b: Seasonal distribution of respiratory viruses in 216 (PCR). RSV was detected throughout the year, but infections peaked over February-April. A second smaller peak was noted over November-December 216. This second peak falls outside the period over which palizumab (Synergis ) is usually gen to premature infants for the prevention of RSV infection. The in uenza season was prolonged in 216 and atypical in that the initial peak was due to in uenza B, followed by in uenza A. In preceding years, the reverse has been the norm. Cases of in uenza B were early as March, increasing from May, and peaking in June. Cases of in uenza B infection were detected into November. In uenza A cases were also detected in March, but increased over the months of June-August. Cases of in uenza A infection were also detected into November. The in uenza A cases were a mixture of subtype H3N1 and H1N1.

5 4 RESPIRATORY TRACT PATHOGENS Bacterial S. PNEUMONIAE H. PARAINFLUENZAE H. INFLUENZAE Number of isolates Figure 7a: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus parain uenzae and Haemophilus in uenzae in 216. The commonest bacterial pathogens are H. in uenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Haemophilus parain uenzae is a commensal of the nasopharynx but has also been implicated in respiratory tract infections, such as pneumonia and sinusitis. STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE HAEMOPHILUS PARAINFLUENZAE HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE BLD CSF LRT ENT OTHER Figure 7b: Specimen source distribution of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus parain uenzae and Haemophilus in uenzae isolates in 216. The predominant specimen type was sputum/endotracheal aspirates. Twenty-four percent of S. pneumoniae isolates were from blood cultures.

6 5 RESPIRATORY TRACT PATHOGENS Penicillin non-susceptible S. pneumoniae (all sites) Penicillin non-susceptible S. pneumoniae (blood) Macrolide R S.pneumoniae (all sites) Macrolide R S.pneumoniae (blood) Quinolone R S.pneumoniae (all sites) Quinolone R S.pneumoniae (blood) Quinolone R H. parain uenzae Quinolone R H. in uenzae Percent non-susceptible isolates Figure 7c: Percentage of S. pneumoniae isolates, from all sites or blood, that were non-susceptible to penicillin, macrolides and quinolones, and percent of H. in uenzae and H. parain uenzae that were non-susceptible to quinolones. The common bacterial respiratory pathogens H. in uenzae and S. pneumoniae were susceptible to amoxicillin-clavulanate(>99%). Less than 5% of S. pneumoniae isolates, from blood and all sites, were nonsusceptible to penicillin and quinolones. Note the macrolide resistance in S. pneumoniae isolates.

7 6 COMMON URINARY TRACT PATHOGENS E. coli remains the commonest cause of community-acquired urinary tract infections in the province. 12 Percentage E.coli urinary isolates ESBL posite Cipro oxacin S Nitrofurantoin S Fosfomycin S Ertapenem S Figure 8: Percentage of Cipro oxacin susceptible and ESBL posite E. coli urinary isolates from The percentage of cipro oxacin susceptible isolates have dropped to below 6% in 5 years, and the rate of ESBL positity, and therefore resistance to most betalactams and cephalosporins, has increased signi cantly from 17 to 26%. This is of concern as an increasing proportion of patients with communityacquired urinary tract infections may require parenteral antimicrobials. The high level of susceptibility to urinary antiseptics such as fosfomycin and nitrofurantoin make these agents suitable for the treatment of uncomplicated cystitis. Patients with suspected pyelonephritis, however, will require investigations such as urine for microscopy and culture, and/or admission for parenteral antimicrobials, as guided by antimicrobial susceptibility test results
