Abstract excerpt

In the past 2 to 3 decades, erythromycin resistance in Streptococcus pyogenes has been decreasing, whereas fluoroquinolone resistance (or reduction in its susceptibility) has been reported often. Although a shift of M-type prevalence and decreased pressure from macrolides have been suggested for the decrease in erythromycin resistance, we hypothesized that this might also be a result of increased antimicrobial...
