Antibiotic resistance in the environment, with particular reference to MRSA [PDF]
The introduction of β-lactam antibiotics (penicillins and cephalosporins) in the 1940s and 1950s probably represents the most dramatic event in the battle against infection in human medicine.

Penicillin Resistant Staphylococci
Summary(1) In a study of the susceptibility of 115 strains of staphylococci to penicillin 16 or 13.9% were found to be resistant. (2) All strains resistant to penicillin produced penicillinase; none of the susceptible strains had this property. (3) Many of the penicillinase-producing staphylococci produce coagulase indicating the importance of the ...

Antimicrobial Resistance with Streptococcus pneumoniae in the United States, 1997–98
From November 1997 to April 1998, 1,601 clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae were obtained from 34 U.S. medical centers. The overall rate of strains showing resistance to penicillin was 29.5%, with 17.4% having intermediate resistance. Multidrug

Clinical resistance and decreased susceptibility in Streptococcus suis isolates from clinically healthy fattening pigs [PDF]
Streptococcus suis (S. suis) has often been reported as an important swine pathogen and is considered as a new emerging zoonotic agent. Consequently, it is important to be informed on its susceptibility to antimicrobial agents.

Developments in diagnostics and antibiotic resistance of coagulase positive, maltose negative staphylococci from milk of dairy cows [PDF]
In South Africa, as is done with routine Veterinary diagnostics worldwide, focus is on a fast turnaround time and relatively low cost. Staphylococci are identified using the coagulase test (Staphylase test, Oxoid). In more recent years, further diagnosis

Frequency of resistance to penicillin and erythromycin of pneumococcal strains that caused ottis media [PDF]
Introduction: Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important human pathogen and the most common cause of acute otitis media (AOM), especially in children. It is also a common cause of community acquired pneumonia, sepsis and bacterial meningitis.
