Surveillance of invasive beta-haemolytic streptococci in Denmark, 2012 to 2023: A nationwide study
Objectives
To analyse trends in incidence, seasonality, and antimicrobial resistance of invasive beta-haemolytic streptococci (iBHS) in Denmark from 2012 to 2023.
Methods
Nationwide laboratory surveillance included submission of invasive isolates of Lancefield group A, B, C, and G streptococci from blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and other sterile sites to the National Reference Laboratory. Incidence rates (IRs) per 100,000 were calculated. Seasonality was analysed using Poisson regression, and antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by EUCAST disc diffusion.
Results
In total, 9470 iBHS cases were identified. Annual IRs increased from 2.6 to 9.4 for iGAS, 2.5 to 4.9 for iGBS, 1.4 to 4.8 for iGCS, and 3.1 to 8.5 for iGGS. iGAS exhibited marked seasonality, peaking in February and troughing in September (peak-to-trough ratio 3.2). Incidence declined during the COVID-19 pandemic but rebounded in 2023. No seasonality was observed for iGBS, iGCS, or iGGS. Incidences were highest in males and older adults, except iGBS, which showed a bimodal distribution. Recurrent infections occurred in 5.4% of cases, predominantly with iGGS and iGCS. All isolates were penicillin susceptible, but erythromycin and clindamycin resistance increased in iGBS and iGGS.
Conclusions
The rising incidence of iBHS, particularly iGAS resurgence and increasing resistance, highlights the need for continued surveillance.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infection publishes original papers on all aspects of infection - clinical, microbiological and epidemiological. The Journal seeks to bring together knowledge from all specialties involved in infection research and clinical practice, and present the best work in the ever-changing field of infection.
Each issue brings you Editorials that describe current or controversial topics of interest, high quality Reviews to keep you in touch with the latest developments in specific fields of interest, an Epidemiology section reporting studies in the hospital and the general community, and a lively correspondence section.
