Proportion of failures/remissions of 95 episodes of streptococcal prosthetic joint infections according to the antibiotic regimen. BL (total = 12): Beta-lactam monotherapy (amoxicillin = 14, ceftriaxone = 4). GP: glycopeptide monotherapy (total = 2, all teicoplanin). Other MT: (monotherapy total = 2, all clindamycin). RIF/Levo (total = 28): rifampicin/levofloxacin combination.
