Antibiotic susceptibility figures of some common pathogenous bacteria in the communities

ABSTRACT

The study was conducted on Six hundred and thirty eight Streptococcus pneumoniae strains, 357 Haemophilus influenzae strains and 1475 Escherichia coli strains, were isolated from naso-pharyngeal, and rectal swabs in healthy children under 5 year olds, and 147 Salmonella typhi strains and 133 Shigella flexneri strains were isolated in 2002. These strains were tested for antibiotic susceptibility. The results showed that benzyl-penicillin was susceptible to S. pneumoniae pathogenous strains in community. The third generation cephalosporines showed the highest susceptibility to H. influenzae pathogenous strains in community. Ceftazidime, cefuroxime acetil and ciprofloxacine are antibiotics with high susceptibility to E. coli pathogenous strains in community. Fluoroquinolones and 2nd and 3rd cephalosporines are susceptible to S. typhi strains with high level. The most susceptible antibiotic to S. flexneri strains was ciprofloxacine.
