Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial susceptibilities of 205 Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated between 2002 and 2004 in Japan were examined and the distribution of genes for resistance to penicillins and macrolides were investigated by polymerase chain reaction. The molecular epidemiology of 92 randomly selected isolates was also examined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The numbers of S. pneumoniae isolates...
