Entry title:

Antimicrobial resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) bacteraemia

Last updated on Thursday, 24 September 2026 at 04:00pm

Information
Missing ICB data

Due to technical issues, data for NHS Norfolk and Suffolk Integrated Care Board is unavailable. We are working to resolve this issue.

This page provides information on resistance to antimicrobials in Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteraemia (bacteria found in blood specimens). Data breakdowns are available for England and by UKHSA Region.

Overview

Antibiotics are grouped based on the UK-AWaRe classification. These are:

Access
Access antibiotics are with a narrow spectrum of activity, fewer side effects, lower costs, and importantly lower resistance potential. These are first or second choice antibiotics recommended for empiric treatment of the most common infections and should be widely available. That is to say, these antibiotics should offer the best therapeutic value while minimizing the potential for resistance.

Watch
Watch antibiotics have a higher resistance potential and are broader-spectrum antibiotics. These are first or second choice antibiotics indicated for a limited number of infective syndromes. As these antibiotics are considered to have a higher potential for selection of AMR, their use should be carefully monitored.

Reserve
Reserve antibiotics are “last resort” antibiotics, including new antibiotics. These are used for highly selected patients (life-threatening infections due to multi-drug-resistant bacteria) and are closely monitored and prioritized as targets of stewardship programmes to ensure continued effectiveness.

Resistance

Rolling monthly average percent of S. pneumoniae bacteraemia resistant to macrolides and penicillin. Monthly figures are shown as the first day of each month. For example, the figures for January 2022 are shown as at "1 Jan 2022".

Up to and including month of 1 Jul 2026

ChartThere are 2 plots on this chart. The horizontal X-axis is labelled 'date'. Whilst the vertical Y-axis is labelled 'metric'. This is plot number 1 on this chart.

Note 1: The chart shows a three-month rolling average, so the data shown for one month is the average across that month and the previous two months. Note 2: Interpreting national antibiotic resistance surveillance trends spanning European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) clinical breakpoint transition periods requires additional consideration to avoid misinterpretation of data.

Source: AMR module of Second Generation Surveillance System (SGSS). SGSS is a live reporting database, and therefore data is subject to change. Note 1: The chart shows a three-month rolling average, so the data shown for one month is the average across that month and the previous two months. Note 2: Interpreting national antibiotic resistance surveillance trends spanning European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) clinical breakpoint transition periods requires additional consideration to avoid misinterpretation of data.

Testing

Rolling monthly average percent of S. pneumoniae bacteraemia tested for resistance to penicillin. Monthly figures are shown as the first day of each month. For example, the figures for January 2022 are shown as at "1 Jan 2022".

Up to and including month of 1 Jul 2026

ChartThere is only 1 plot on this chart. The horizontal X-axis is labelled 'date'. Whilst the vertical Y-axis is labelled 'metric'. This is a dark blue solid line plot. This plot shows data for S-pneumoniae. Specifically the metric 's-pneumoniae_testing_bacteraemiaPercentTestedRollingMonth' for the England area, along with the age banding of 'all' for the gender group of all. This plot shows data from 01 July 2021 to 01 July 2026. It rose from 84.34 on 01 July 2021 to 89.1 on 01 May 2022. It fell from 89.27 on 01 June 2022 to 86.79 on 01 March 2023. It rose from 86.16 on 01 April 2023 to 86.58 on 01 January 2024. It fell from 85.43 on 01 February 2024 to 84.41 on 01 November 2024. It fell from 85.08 on 01 December 2024 to 80.88 on 01 September 2025. And finally. It rose from 80.8 on 01 October 2025 to 82.35 on 01 July 2026. There is no reporting delay period being tracked for the data on this chart. - Refer to tabular data.
