Approximately 60 of strains demonstrated less susceptible to penicillin-g. To clarithromycin, 264 strains (74.2 ) were classified to be resistant, while 9 strains (2.5 ) exhibited MIC of 2 mg/ml to telithromycin. MIC 90 (mg/ml) of quinolones were as follows: DX619 (0.031 or less), garenoxacin (0.063), sitafloxacin (0.063), tosfloxacin (0.25), moxifloxacin (0.25), gatifloxacin (0.5), levofloxacin (1), ciprofloxacin (2), pazufloxacin (2). Pulse-field gel electrophoresis analysis using levofloxacin or telithromycin less susceptible strains demonstrated no evidence of wide spreading of antibiotic resistant clone in our hospital. These data suggest e$cacy of newer respiratory quinolones against S. pneumoniae infections, and further support need of continuous surveillance for appearance and spreading of antibiotic resistance organisms.
