Frequency of Antibiotic Resistance among Group B Streptococcus Isolated from Healthy College Students

We report resistant rates to erythromycin and clindamycin among Streptococcus agalactiae (group B Streptococcus) isolated from a random sample of healthy male and nonpregnant female college students. Observed resistance rates were twice as high as those reported among pregnant women from the same ge...
