  • Title: Methods for predicting susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae to cefixime.
    Author: Barry AL, Fuchs PC.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 1995 Apr; 33(4):1031-3. PubMed ID: 7790431.
    Abstract:
    Among 698 Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates, 475 were penicillin susceptible and > 99% of those were susceptible to 0.5 microgram of cefixime per ml; other pneumococci were tentatively assumed to be resistant to cefixime. A 1-microgram oxacillin disk was more reliable than a 5-micrograms cefixime disk for predicting susceptibility to cefixime.
