Tetracycline-resistant streptococci in South-west Essex: a continuing survey.

Studies of beta-haemolytic streptococci isolated in material received from patients in South-west Essex for a further period of three years showed that the overall percentage of tetracycline resistance has remained almost stationary, varying from 28% in 1963 through 35% in 1965 to 27% in 1967.Ear, sound, and skin infections retain a high incidence of resistant strains, while sputa are still a relatively minor source of such organisms. Organisms isolated from throat swabs have an incidence of resistance closest to the mean.

Oral therapy with ketoconazole for dermatophyte infections unresponsive to griseofulvin.

Oral ketoconazole therapy was evaluated with 21 patients who had recalcitrant dermatophytosis. During an 18-week period, all patients, including three with organisms resistant to griseofulvin in vitro, showed impressive clinical improvement. The four patients without nail involvement became mycologically negative earlier than those with onychomycosis. The latter group showed progressive clearing of the nails, but only three were mycologically clear after 18 weeks. Adverse reactions to ketoconazole were negligible, and no patients required discontinuance of the drug. Ketoconazole appears to be a safe, effective drug for oral therapy of dermatophytoses in humans.
