| A hospital-based cross sectional study rvas conducted in the pediatric w'ards at TikitTeaching Hospital from June 2005 to the end of August 2005. Swabs were taken from innateobjects and medical personnel in the pediatric wards, culture and identification r.r,as performed usingconventional methods. Grouping using an available commercial kit were also pc-rformed for allStreptococcal isolates, u'ith biochemical and antibiotic sensitivity tests. Group G streptococci(GGS) was found to account for 52.5o/o of the total streptococcal isolates (903%) isolated from theinnate objects, while it rvas 47.9% of the streptococci isolated from the meclical personnel (42%fronr hands,32oA from oral cavities, and260/o from the clothes). Data revealeci that 22.6% of theGGS strains were multi-drug resistant agairtst gentamicin, anrpicillin, amoxicillin and erytfuomycin.The data suggests the intportance of multi-clrug resistant GGS in the pediatrics *,ard and that it mayinvolve in nrany infections there | ||
