“…Among the main problems hampering the choice of an appropriate empirical antibiotic treatment of S. pneumoniae infections are the current high levels of antimicrobial resistance. In the present study, overall levels of nonsusceptibility to oral benzylpenicillin (13.4%), amoxicillin (2%), cefotaxime (1%), erythromycin (12%), and levofloxacin (0.8%) in S. pneumoniae isolates from elderly patients with pneumonia were lower than the percentages of resistance described in other studies of pneumococcal pneumonia performed in Spain (7,14,30,31). Additionally, and in agreement with recent studies (10,24,31), the trend toward a decrease in nonsusceptible S. pneumoniae isolates seems to be continuing and is associated with a decrease in episodes of pneumonia caused by PCV7 serotypes.…”

“…4 The more common serotypes among the ermB-positive isolates were 3 (39 isolates), 23F (9), 6B (7), 14 (6), and 19F (5). Thirty-eight of the 40 serotype 3 and ST180 clones were highly-resistant to erythromycin and possessed the ermB gene (Table 1).…”

“…Data for isolates collected over a five-year period (1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004) showed that the prevalence of PNSP strains, ranging from < 5% to > 40%, was higher in southern and central than in northern European countries (Bruinsma et al 2004); the prevalence decreased in Belgium (13% to 9%), Ireland (19% to 10%), UK (7% to 3%) and Spain (33% to 29%) during this time. This decrease is thought to be due to the use of PCV-7 vaccination programs (Vallès et al 2006).…”
