In vitro antimicrobial activity of cefditoren and other oral antibiotics against Streptococcus pneumoniae,isolated from children with commynity acquired respiratorf tract infections

摘要

The antibacterial susceptibility to frequently prescribed antibiotics of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from the pediatric patients with acute respiratory infectious diseases was investigated in a study of three medical institutions in Korea. Total143 clinical isolates of S. pneumoniae were available for susceptibility tests between May 2003 and July 2007. Antimicrobial susceptibility data for S. pneumoniae were analyzed by using agents of amoxicillin, cefaclor, cefuroxime, cefdinir, and cefditoren as the test antibiotics.
