What bacterial infection is definitely decreasing because of effective drug treatment?
a. Escherichia coli infection c. Candidiasis
b. Tuberculosis d. Group B streptococcal infection
ANS: D
Penicillin has significantly decreased the incidence of group B streptococcal infection. E. coli may be increasing, perhaps because of the increasing use of ampicillin (resulting in a more virulent E. coli resistant to the drug). Tuberculosis is increasing in the United States and Canada. Candidiasis is a fairly benign fungal infection.
