Summary:The in vitro activity of nine antibiotics including penicillin was tested against 70 strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from 41 children and 29 adults with pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis, liver abscess or conjunctivitis. Identification was based on colony morphology, Gram stain characteristics, optochin susceptibility and bile solubility.
