Abstract
ABSTRACT
Of 1,388
Streptococcus pneumoniae
isolates collected from 2000 to 2005, 10.5% had a ciprofloxacin MIC of ≥4.0 μg/ml and 1.6% (range, 0.8% to 4.3% per year) had a levofloxacin MIC of ≥4.0 μg/ml. Molecular characterization indicated that fluoroquinolone resistance occurred independently in our prevalent Spain
23F
-1 clone, expressing serotypes 23F, 19F, and 14. Rates of resistance to levofloxacin in
S. pneumoniae
have remained stable at a Hong Kong hospital.
