Antibiotic Selection Pressure and Resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes

Antibiotic Selection Pressure and Resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes

We correlated outpatient antibiotic use with prevalence of penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSP), macrolide-resistant S. pneumoniae (MRSP), and macrolide-resistant S. pyogenes (MRGAS) in 20 countries.
