Abstract excerpt
The macrolide resistance of 304 Hungarian Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates was investigated. Antibiotic sensitivity testing was performed in air and in 5% CO(2). More erythromycin resistance was noted when growth was in CO(2). A resistance determinant was found in almost all isolates: erm(B) gene (87.4%), mef genes (9.2%) and one strain with the erm(TR) gene. This indicates that screening for carriage of...
