Antibiotic susceptibility of 225 Staphylococcus strains and 42 Pneumococcus strains was assayed with the method of serial microdilutions. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus strains (S. aureus and coagulase negative strains) were characterized by high susceptibility to cephalosporins and ampicillin + sulbactam combination, as well as to ciprofloxacin, rifampicin and vancomycin (70 to 100 per cent of the susceptible strains). Less than 50 per cent of the strains was susceptible to erythromycin. The methicillin resistant Staphylococcus strains preserved their high susceptibility to vancomycin and rifampicin (the coagulase negative strains also preserved their susceptibility to ciprofloxacin). Four Pneumococcus strains with the intermediate resistance to benzylpenicillin were isolated (for 9.6 per cent of the strains the MIC was 0.12 to 1.0 micrograms/ml). The growth of 2 out of these 4 strains was inhibited by the ampicillin + sulbactam combination in a concentration of less than 0.5 micrograms/ml and by cefotaxime and the cefoperazone + sulbactam combination in a concentration of less than 1.0 micrograms/ml. The growth of the other 2 strains was inhibited by betalactams in concentrations higher than the above mentioned.

D013210 Staphylococcus A genus of gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, coccoid bacteria. Its organisms occur singly, in pairs, and in tetrads and characteristically divide in more than one plane to form irregular clusters. Natural populations of Staphylococcus are found on the skin and mucous membranes of warm-blooded animals. Some species are opportunistic pathogens of humans and animals.
D013296 Streptococcus pneumoniae A gram-positive organism found in the upper respiratory tract, inflammatory exudates, and various body fluids of normal and/or diseased humans and, rarely, domestic animals. Diplococcus pneumoniae,Pneumococcus
D013407 Sulbactam A beta-lactamase inhibitor with very weak antibacterial action. The compound prevents antibiotic destruction of beta-lactam antibiotics by inhibiting beta-lactamases, thus extending their spectrum activity. Combinations of sulbactam with beta-lactam antibiotics have been used successfully for the therapy of infections caused by organisms resistant to the antibiotic alone.
