ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVITY PATTERN OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS PYOGENES

Antibiotic Sensitivity Pattern of Staphylococcus Aureus in Abakaliki, Nigeria

Objective: To investigate the sensitivity pattern of Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from clinical specimens including urine, wound, high vaginal swab and semen to commonly used antibiotics. Methodology: The susceptibility patterns of these isolates were determined using the disc diffusion and agar well diffusion methods. Results: Out of 174 samples, 51 (29.2%) yielded S. aureus with th...

Detecting Virulence Factors and Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Trueperella Pyogenes Isolated from Bovine Mastitic Milk

Backgrounds and Aims: Mastitis is a mammalian disease which is considered important due to its potential economic damages. Trueperella pyogenesis is one of the important opportunistic pathogens of the mammary glands of cattle. This bacterium can produce acute mastitis infection in dairy cattle. In fact, this bacterium has several virulence genes which contribute to its pathogenicity. Therefore,...

Sensitivity of staphylococcus pyogenes to benzylpenicillin and BRL 1241.

Comparative Antibiotic Sensitivity Pattern of Hospital and Community Acquired Staphylococcus aureus Isolates of Jessore, Bangladesh

Staphylococcus aureus has emerged over the past several decades as a leading cause of hospital acquired infections, which are more commonly termed as nosocomial infections. In recent years, strains of this bacterium which are resistant against several types of antibiotics have evolved and their prevalence is becoming a potential epidemiological threat. As there are limited data available on ant...

Antibiotic sensitivity pattern in bacterial endocarditis.

Seventyone blood cultures were taken from suspected cases of infective endocarditis. The positive cultures were isolated for study of their antibiotic susceptibility patterns. Gentamycin was found to be the most effective. Cloxacillin, chloramphenicol, Vibramycin, Tetracyclin, Erythromycin were next in order. The incidence of bacteria probably susceptible to high dose schedules and those demons...
