Abstract excerpt
Since 1987, Streptococcus pneumoniae (SPN) has been monitored in pediatric and adult populations. In 1994, the SIREVA/PAHO surveillance allowed the assessment of a dramatic increase of penicillin resistance, mainly associated to SPN type 14 also resistance to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. To determine the genetic relatedness of the resistant isolates, analysis of SmaI digests of 61 isolates was performed by...
