Methods for predicting susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae to cefixime

AL Barry and PC Fuchs
Clinical Microbiology Institute, Tualatin, Oregon 97062, USA.

Among 698 Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates, 475 were penicillin susceptible and > 99% of those were susceptible to 0.5 microgram of cefixime per ml; other pneumococci were tentatively assumed to be resistant to cefixime. A 1-microgram oxacillin disk was more reliable than a 5-micrograms cefixime disk for predicting susceptibility to cefixime.
