Serotype distribution and antimicrobial resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated in Algiers, Algeria.

Nadjia Ramdani-Bouguessa1, Kheira Rahal.   

Abstract

There are few data on antibiotic resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Algeria. Among 309 strains, 34.6% were penicillin G-nonsusceptible S. pneumoniae strains (25.2% were intermediate and 9.4% were resistant). Serotypes 1, 5, 14, and 6 were the most frequent in invasive child infections. A multicenter study to standardize the national guidelines is needed.
