Evolution of the prevalence and sensitivity pattern of streptococco pneumonia (penicillin and eritromycine) in the last eight years

Introduction and objectives: There has been a significant increase in the rates of resistance of the main respiratory pathogens to the most commonly used antibiotics. Of special interest is the increase in the prevalence of resistance over the last decade to macrolide and penicillin in Streptococcus pneumoniae, the bacterial agent involved more frequently in respiratory infections. We have studied the prevalence and analyzed the evolution of the sensitivity of the isolated cultures with S. pneumoniae during the last eight years in our Hospital. Method: We made a descriptive study with the data provided by the Se…
