  • Description: <jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> A total of 486 <jats:italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae</jats:italic> isolates were collected in 2003 and 2004 in Germany and revealed the following resistance rates: penicillin G (7.2%) and erythromycin A (18.9%). Telithromycin exhibited good in vitro activity (MIC at which 90% of the isolates tested were inhibited, 0.125 μg/ml). However, one <jats:italic>erm</jats:italic> (B)-positive isolate was found to be telithromycin resistant (MIC, 8 μg/ml). </jats:p>
