In this study, 85 clinical isolates of erythromycin-resistant (MIC > or = 1 microg/ml) Streptococcus pneumoniae were tested for the resistance phenotype by the erythromycin-clindamycin double-disk test (previously used to determine the macrolide resistance phenotype in Streptococcus pyogenes strains) and by...
