Streptococcal species includes Streptococcus pneumoniae, but doesn’t include Enterococcus species. *Number of isolates are not mentioned here because the ICMR guideline is defined for each antibiotic as opposed to cumulative number of isolates. R% = percentage of sample isolates resistant to the given antibiotic R% = percentage of sample isolates resistant to the given antibiotic
