Susceptibility testing of Penicillin G, Ampicillin and Ceftriaxone performed in Bukavu, D.R. Congo and in Gothenburg, Sweden. To compare the antibiotic susceptibility tests performed in Bukavu, DR Congo, with those performed in Gothenburg, Sweden, the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for penicillin G, ampicillin and ceftriaxone in 32 pneumococcal isolates at both sites.
