Antibiotic Susceptibility Test of Streptococcus pneumoniae

Abstract
|
|
|
|
Streptococcus pneumoniae remains a major cause of bacteremia, meningitis, penumonia, sinusitis, and otitis media. Although this organism was originally exquisitely susceptible to penicillin, the last two decades have witnessed the emergence of strains resistant to penicillin as well as other antimicrobial agents in many parts of the world. 102 isolates obtained from patients with invasive pneumococcal disease have been examined the susceptibility to various antibiotics. 52% to 85% of isolates tested were resistant to various antibiotics. These data suggest that more powerful antibiotics should be used for the treatment of pneumococal infection.
