Streptococcus pneumoniae is a bacteria causing a wide range of infections, from otitis to pneumonia and meningitis, with high mortality in vulnerable patient groups.
All EU Member States and two EEA countries (Island and Norway) reported data from invasive isolates, except for UK in 2020 and 2021. Roughly 76 percent of the participating countries had a high national representativeness, in terms of covered geographic areas, included acute care hospitals, and microorganisms causing infections.

Share of invasive resistant S. pneumoniae in EU/EEA 2017-2021, by antimicrobial group
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a bacteria causing a wide range of infections, from otitis to pneumonia and meningitis, with high mortality in vulnerable patient groups. As of 2021, resistance to macrolide antibiotics was the most common form of S. pneumoniae antibiotic resistance in EU and EEA countries, with **** percent, followed by resistance to penicillin non-wild-type. This statistic displays the percentage of invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates resistant to antibiotics in EU/EEA countries between 2017 and 2021, by antimicrobial group.
