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.
在过去10年里,已记录了埃塞克斯郡西南部耐四环素的β-溶血性链球菌的流行情况。其比例已从1965年的峰值35%降至1972年的9.2%。耳部感染不再是这些微生物的最高发病部位;阴道、会阴和皮肤感染现在似乎具有更大的相对重要性,但咽喉拭子仍然提供了实际分离出的最大数量。耐红霉素菌株仍然很少见。
