PREVALENCE AND SUSCEPTIBILITY OF MACROLIDE RESISTANCE AMONG Streptococcus pneumoniae IN EKITI STATE


ABSTRACT
The prevalence and susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from sputum in four differently located hospitals in Ekiti State to macrolides (erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin and dirithromycin) was investigated. It was observed that out of the 200 samples tested for the bacterium only 20 were positive indicating a low incident rate. However, the 20 isolates were susceptible to all the macrolides tested. The highest activity was shown in azithromycin.
