Figure 2.
Percentage susceptibility rates (with 95% CIs) for antimicrobials according to CLSI breakpoints against penicillin-susceptible (PSSP), penicillin-intermediate (PISP) and penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae (PRSP), combining results from Democratic Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, Kenya and Senegal. Penicillin susceptibility categories are based on oral penicillin CLSI breakpoints. Sample sizes varied by antimicrobial agents and are shown below the bar chart. aOnly isolates with erythromycin testing by disc diffusion were included. AMC, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid; CEC, cefaclor; CXM, cefuroxime; CLR, clarithromycin; LVX, levofloxacin; OFX, ofloxacin; PEN, penicillin; SXT, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole; ERY, erythromycin.
