Abstract

We report resistant rates to erythromycin and clindamycin among Streptococcus agalactiae (group B Streptococcus) isolated from a random sample of healthy male and nonpregnant female college students. Observed resistance rates were twice as high as those reported among pregnant women from the same geographic area 2 years prior.
