Linear regression analysis was used to compare penicillin MICs determined with 3,129 recent clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae to MICs obtained with nine other beta-lactam antimicrobial agents. A strong correlation between penicillin MICs and those obtained with other beta-lactams was demonstrated. It may be possible to test penicillin and use MICs obtained with penicillin to predict MICs of other beta-lactam antimicrobials for Streptococcus pneumoniae.
采用线性回归分析,将3129株近期临床分离的肺炎链球菌的青霉素最低抑菌浓度(MIC)与其他9种β-内酰胺类抗菌药物的MIC进行比较。结果显示,青霉素MIC与其他β-内酰胺类药物的MIC之间存在强相关性。对于肺炎链球菌,有可能通过检测青霉素并利用其MIC来预测其他β-内酰胺类抗菌药物的MIC。
