ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY TRENDS AMONG VIRIDAN STREPTOCOCCI ISOLATES FROM CASES OF ENDOCARDITIS

Abstract

To determine the changes found in antimicrobial resistant character occurred among viridans groups of streptococci, this study examined 30 viridans group streptococci isolated from infective endocarditis patients. The isolation patterns revealed based on biochemical identification as four viridans streptococcal species groups – mitis, mutans, salivarius and sanguinis
