increase in infections caused by these antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria is a concern for human health.
The bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of the respiratory disease pneumonia. The graph below shows
trends in bacterial resistance to di erent antibiotics in pneumonia cases from 1986 to 1999.
