% of practitioners organized the prophylaxis themselves, 80 % gave oral amoxycillin to penicillin non-allergic patients, and 86 % gave erythromycin to penicillin-allergic patients. Some 51% complied to an acceptable level with recommended amoxycillin schedules but only 2 % complied with erythromycin schedules
Selection of Multidrug- Resistant Isolates
"... Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 3, isolated from a penicillin-allergic patient and initially susceptible to fluoroquinolones, macrolides, lincosamides, quinupristin-dalfopristin, and telithromycin, became resistant to all these drugs during treatment. Mutations in the parC and gyrA and in the 23S ..."

Lack of Cross-Reactivity Between Aztreonam, a Monobactam Antibiotic, and Penicillin in Penicillin-Allergic Subjects
"... Monobactam antibiotics are a new class of fJ-Iactam antibiotics. In contrast to penicil-lins or cephalosporins, monobactams possess a monocyclic fJ-Iactam structure. IgE or immediate hypersensitivity cross-reactivity between aztreonam (a monobactam) and penicillin was investigated, since this will b ..."
