摘要: To determine vaccine coverage of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in Saudi Arabian children aged 5 years and under, 350 IPD isolates were tested for antibiotic susceptibility. Of these 46%, 42% 12% penicillin-sensitive, pencillin-intermediate, penicillin-resistant, respectively. Rates resistance to erythromycin cefotaxime 26% 6%, The potential serotype the PCV7 Arabia among <5 age is 62%, significantly improved <2 age, reach 83% against isolates. expected have a substantial impact on burden antibiotic-resistant Arabia.
