title: Antibiotic sensitivity of bacteria isolated in 1998 and 1999 from patients with infections of upper airways residing in Western Pomerania.
abstract: Sensitivity to antibiotics of the most common pathogens isolated from the upper airways in north-west part of Poland shown significant regional variation. The rise in resistance to penicillin for Streptococcus pneumoniae (to 22%) and to macrolides for Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus was observed. No differences in sensitivity have been found between pathogens isolated from hospital and ambulatory patients.
