Lack of vancomycin tolerance in Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated in Barcelona, Spain, from 1999 to 2001.

Abstract

To evaluate the incidence of vancomycin tolerance among Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates, we performed killing curve studies with 633 isolates. The penicillin MIC was > or = 0.12 mg/liter for 481 (76%) of the isolates. All strains were susceptible to vancomycin. Killing curve studies were performed with a vancomycin concentration of 2.5 mg/liter. The Tupelo strain was used for quality control. No vancomycin-tolerant strain was detected.
