Abstract excerpt
Thirty-three epidemiologically unrelated strains of ampicillin-chloramphenicol-resistant isolates of Haemophilus influenzae (22 type b, 11 unencapsulated), isolated over 10 years in Belgium, were compared with 53 ampicillin-resistant chloramphenicol-susceptible isolates (22 type b, 31 unencapsulated). All ampicillin-chloramphenicol-resistant and 76% of ampicillin-resistant chloramphenicol-susceptible strains were...
