Laboratory Survey of Drug-Resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in New York City, 1993—1995

Laboratory Survey of Drug-Resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in New York City, 1993—1995

Wide geographic variation in the prevalence of drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae demonstrates the importance of tracking antimicrobial resistance locally. This survey of hospital microbiology laboratories in New York City found that penicillin resistance (MIC > 2.0 μg/ml) increased from 1.5...
