Abstract excerpt
A collection of 185 Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates was tested for their susceptibility to antipneumococcal drugs, with a focus on the distribution of tetracycline resistance determinants tet(M) and tet(O). Resistance patterns were compared with established correlates of multidrug resistance, and tetracycline-resistant isolates were tested for clonality and allelic variation within tet(M). Resistance to...
