Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Streptococcus pneumoniae can be responsible for severe human infections. Optochin resistance has been a potential cause of misidentification of pneumococcus and other members of the mitis group. Hence, rapid and easy optochin resistant (Optr) S. pneumoniae identification is essential. METHODOLOGY: Atypical pneumococci were characterized using optochin susceptibility, bile solubility based on...
