3.11 Antimicrobial susceptibilityTable 10 shows the antimicrobial susceptibility of the 514 culture-positive IPD cases <strong>in</strong> <strong>2010</strong>.The penicill<strong>in</strong> and cefotaxime MICs displayed the typical bimodal distribution(Appendix 10).6.0% of isolates had comb<strong>in</strong>ed penicill<strong>in</strong> (men<strong>in</strong>gitis <strong>in</strong>terpretation) and erythromyc<strong>in</strong>resistance, and 1.0% had comb<strong>in</strong>ed penicill<strong>in</strong>-<strong>in</strong>termediate resistance (non-men<strong>in</strong>gitis<strong>in</strong>terpretation) and erythromyc<strong>in</strong> resistance. Among the penicill<strong>in</strong>-resistant isolates(men<strong>in</strong>gitis <strong>in</strong>terpretation), 30.1% (28/93) were multiresistant to 3 additional antibiotics,commonly co-trimoxazole, erythromyc<strong>in</strong> and tetracycl<strong>in</strong>e with or without cefotaximeresistance.Table 10.

Both penicill<strong>in</strong> and cefotaxime resistance, based onthe men<strong>in</strong>gitis <strong>in</strong>terpretive standards, decreased between 2008 and 2009 after the <strong>in</strong>troductionof PCV-7 <strong>in</strong> 2008, but there was no further decrease <strong>in</strong> resistance to either antibiotic between2009 and <strong>2010</strong>.<strong>Invasive</strong> pneumococcal disease 19 September 2011<strong>in</strong> NZ, <strong>2010</strong>
