Fifty strains of Staphylococcus intermedius were isolated from different pathological specimens originating from dogs during a six-month period. Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns against three fluoroquinolones were obtained on 50 Staphylococcus intermedius strains. In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed employing the disk diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer). The sensitivity ...

Funding is often a constraint when planning research, especially in countries where basic research underfunded. Researchers must take into account these limitations, e.g., relation to the selection of appropriate reagents, source which may affect study’s final results. The aim this article was compare results bacteria susceptibility testing using three different sources antimicrobial: pure powd...
