Distribution of non-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae nasopharyngeal strains in the study sites of Lithuania. TMP-SMX - trimethoprim–sulphamethoxazole; MDR - multidrug resistance. Study sites were primary care centres of Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipeda, Panevezys and Alytus and the emergency department of Children’s Hospital, Affiliate of Vilnius University Hospital Santariskiu Klinikos in Vilnius. Note that Alytus was excluded from this comparison because of the small number of S. pneumoniae isolates (n = 2). Using univariable Poisson regression analysis, significant differences were found in these comparisons: non-susceptibility to penicillin was higher in Panevezys vs Vilnius (PR: 2.885, p = 0.000), non-susceptibility to erythromycin was higher in Panevezys vs Vilnius (PR: 1.794, p = 0.007) and Kaunas (PR: 2.140, p = 0.035), resistance to clindamycin was higher in Panevezys vs Vilnius (PR: 2.621, p = 0.000) and Kaunas (PR: 3.424, p = 0.007), non-susceptibility to TMP-SMX was higher in Vilnius vs Panevezys (PR: 1.659, p = 0.039) and MDR was higher in Panevezys vs Vilnius (PR: 3.118, p = 0.000) and Kaunas (PR: 2.663, p = 0.035)
