  • Title: Tetracycline-resistant beta-haemolytic streptococci in South-west Essex: decline and fall.
    Author: Robertson MH.
    Journal: Br Med J; 1973 Oct 13; 4(5884):84-5. PubMed ID: 4583185.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of tetracycline-resistant beta-haemolytic streptococci in South-west Essex has been recorded over the past 10 years. It has fallen from a peak of 35% in 1965 to a level of 9.2% in 1972. Ear infections no longer provide the highest incidence of these organisms; vaginal, perineal, and skin infections now seem to be of greater relative importance but throat swabs still provide the greatest actual number of isolations. Erythromycin-resistant strains are still rare.
