Abstract excerpt
The relatedness of 112 penicillin-non-susceptible isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae from Hungary was determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), serotyping and antibiotic susceptibility tests. The differences in PFGE patterns closely mirrored the changes in resistance. Some genotypes comprised multiple serotypes, and the genetic diversity among certain serotypes was considerable. Generally,...
