Antibiotic resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Alexander Tomasz · Clinical Infectious Diseases · 1997

Summary

Pneumococci were once among the most highly penicillin-susceptible bacteria, but reports of multidrug-resistant strains have been published since the late 1970s and the rapid spread of resistant clones and the emergence of new variants of resistance mechanisms call for effective surveillance systems.
