Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Viridans group streptococci (VGS) are gaining significance as reservoirs of resistance determinants for respiratory tract pathogens. Our aim was to investigate healthy adults for oropharyngeal carriage of VGS that are resistant to macrolides, as well as to other common antibiotics. METHODS: Macrolide-resistant VGS were isolated from throat samples of 154 healthy Belgian adults, and phenotyped and...
