Abstract excerpt
Genetic mechanisms of resistance, clonal composition and the occurrence of pili were analysed in 48 multidrug-resistant (MDR) pneumococci isolated from healthy children in Mérida, Venezuela. Intermediate resistance to penicillin was related to variations in pbp2b and pbp2x. High-level resistance to penicillin as well as low susceptibility to cephalosporins and carbapenems were associated with alterations in...
