Abstract excerpt
A sample of 48 penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP) strains recovered between January 1989 and May 1991, primarily from infected children in Houston, was characterized by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis and repetitive extragenic palindromic-polymerase chain reaction genomic profiling. A heterogeneous array of 22 clonal genotypes was identified, but 64% of the PRSP strains in the sample were...
