Genetic analysis of clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae with high-level resistance to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins
1 Jun 1995
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pneumoniae CS109 and CS111 were isolated in the United States in 1991 and have high levels of resistance to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins (MICs of 8 and 32 micrograms of cefotaxime per ml, respectively). CS109, but not CS111, also showed high-level resistance to penicillin. As both strains expressed the serotype 23F capsule, were very closely related in overall genotype, and possessed identical...
