RESISTANCE AND SENSITIVITY PATTERN OF CLINICAL ISOLATES -OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS AGAINST GENTAMYCIN, CO TRIMETHOPRIM, AMOXICILLIN AND CEFALEXIN IN AL-NAJAF AL ASHREF

الملخص

Staphylococcus aureus one of the most common pathogen that cause a wide range of infection started by simple skin infection and end by septicemias and high possibility of death .we try to study the sensitivity and resistance pattern of staphylococcus aureus against Gentamycin, Cotrimethoprim, Amoxicillin and Cefalexin .A 55 isolates of staphylococcus aureus obtained from urine, pleural fluid, joint aspiration, ear, skin, and pus, of indoor and outdoor patient in AL-SADER teaching hospital, AL-NAJAF AL-ASHREF, IRAQ. From a period extended between 9-1-2006 ---- 8-3-2007.And each isolate was tested for these 4 antibacterial drug , and we see that Gentamycin show the highest percentage of sensitivity by staphylococcus aureus (34.83%) while Amoxicillin show the highest percentage of resistance by staphylococcus aureus ( 30%).
