Abstract

The incidence of tetracycline-resistant beta-haemolytic streptococci isolated in the Department of Pathology and Bacteriology of the Institute of Laryngology and Otology, London, during the years 1958-65 is reported. From less than 1% of all beta-haemolytic streptococci isolated in 1958 they increased to 44% in 1965. These findings are discussed.
