During March to October 1973 at National Medical Center, one thousand four
hundred sixty four pathogens that exclude penicillin sensitive organisms such as gonococcus, pneumococcus, streptococcus; ampicillin sensitive H. influenzae and gentamicin
sensitive pseudomonas spp, were isolated.
These strains identified as follows:
Sta. aureus 399
E. coli 359
Sta. epidermidis 183
Klebsiella spp 171
Proteus spp 103
B. anitratum 80
Salmonella spp 68
Enterococcus 53
Shigella spp 48
In general, Sta. epidermidis is regarded as nonpathogen, however, author included
pure culture of this bacteria in this study.
1. High susceptibility to staphylococcus reveals cephalosporin, methicillin, gentamicin& leucomycin.
2. Ampicillin is only one susceptible antibiotic to Enterococcus.
3. Cephalosporin and gentamicin reveal susceptible antibiotics to E. coli.
4. Gentamicin is only one susceptible antibiotic to Klebsiella spp.
5. Gentamicin & carbenicillin reveal moderately susceptible antibiotics to Proteus spp.
6. There -is no susceptible antibiotic to B, anitratum.
7. About thirty percent strains of salmonella are resistant to chloramphenicol.
8. Carbenicillin, cephalosporin & gentamicin reveal susceptible to shigella spp.
9. Multiple resistant rate to more than two antibiotics which includes tetracycline
are as follows.
Sta. aureus 56.5% E. coli 80.9% Shigella spp 93.8%
