Abstract
Resistance of
Streptococcus pneumoniae
to antimicrobial drugs is increasing. To
investigate the relationship between antimicrobial use and susceptibility of
S.
pneumoniae
isolates at 24 U.S. medical centers, we obtained data on outpatient
antimicrobial-drug use for the regions surrounding 23 of these centers. We found an
association between decreased penicillin susceptibility and use of beta-lactam
antimicrobial drugs.
