Emergence of the M phenotype of erythromycin-resistant pneumococci in South Africa.

Emerging infectious diseases - 1 Jan 2000

Widdowson C A, Klugman K P

Abstract excerpt

Erythromycin-resistant pneumococci have been isolated in South Africa since 1978; however, from 1987 to 1996, resistance to macrolides was only detected in 270 (2.7%) of 9,868 blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pneumococcal isolates, most of which were obtained from the public sector. In South Africa, macrolide use in the public sector is estimated at 56% of that in the private sector. Most erythromycin-resistant...
