    Resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae to penicillins has increased significantly worldwide over the past few decades, with over 50% of invasive isolates now resistant in many countries. Resistance is highest in some areas of Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia, where over 75% of invasive isolates are resistant. Resistance remains lower in other parts of the world, but continues to rise globally as antibiotic overuse and misuse continues to put evolutionary pressure on bacteria to develop new resistance mechanisms.
