• The rates of resistance (%) varied from 2000 to 2005 for the fol owing agents: 0 to 0.3 for levofloxacin, 6.5 to 12.0 for amoxicillin-clavulanate, 12.1 to 15.1 for clindamycin, and 27.4 to 30.1 for penicillin. S. pneumoniae is the leading cause of acute bacterial sinusitis and isolates from these infections tend to exhibit more extensive antimicrobial resistance than is encountered among strains from other infection sites. • From 2000-2005, the MIC remained at 1 µg/ml for levofloxacin and 8 µg/ml for cefuroxime.

resistance trends specific to strains from this clinical entity.
Resistance to a variety of antimicrobial classes is highly prevalent among sinus isolates of S. pneumoniae and multi-drug resistance to four and five agents were the most common phenotypes encountered. An exception to this pattern was the continued high level of fluoroquinolone (levofloxacin) activity (>99% susceptible; MIC90 S. pneumoniae sinus isolates (n = 846) col ected from across the United States from 2000 to 2005 were of 1 µg/ml) against sinus strains. Based on these trends it appears that the antimicrobial choices for empiric tested against penicillin, cefuroxime, azithromycin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, therapy will become notably limited.
