Isolation and Identification of Optochin-Resistant Viridans Group Streptococci from the Sputum Samples of Adult Patients in Jakarta, Indonesia

Abstract: Aim. To investigate optochin-resistant viridans group streptococci (VGS) strains isolated from the sputum sample of adult patients with different clinical symptoms. Materials and Methods. Optochin-resistant VGS isolates were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). recA sequencing was used to confirm identified isolates at the genus level by MALDI-TOF MS. Finding. We identified 79% of tested isolates (148/187) at the species-level identification… Show more

“…Streptococcus pneumoniae has important clinical medical significance, it is a major human pathogen and must be reliably and accurately identified in the clinical microbiology Laboratory, our test results show that, both MALDI-TOF MS systems can identified it correctly, it is consistent with reported by others. [11][12][13] However, a part of S. pneumoniae isolates were misidentified. Similar misidentification, such as S. mitis, were misidentified as S. pneumoniae, has been reported by others.…”
