High rate of antimicrobial resistance and multiple mutations in the dihydrofolate reductase gene among Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from HIV-infected adults in a community setting in Tanzania

Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterize molecular mechanisms of resistance to trimethoprim and other antibiotics in Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from HIV-infected adults in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Methods: A total of 1877 nasopharyngeal swabs were collected and screened for pneum...
