Abstract excerpt

Identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae among other α-haemolytic streptococci is based on phenotypic or genotypic characteristics such as colony morphology, bile solubility and optochin susceptibility. This study reports three optochin-resistant S. pneumoniae strains isolated from immunocompromised patients in Tunisia. The three isolates were positive for the bile solubility test. Biochemical identification...
