摘要: Abstract Levofloxacin had excellent activity in vitro against bacteremic isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae with 495 (99.2%) 499 being susceptible. A total 38 (97.4%) 39 minimal inhibitory concentrations ⩾0.12 μg/ml penicillin were susceptible to levofloxacin. There was correlation between the disk diffusion and broth microdilution methods for determining susceptibility. Resistant belonged four different serotypes. no increase proportion S. resistant 1991 1994.
