[Drug resistance of staphylococci to chemotherapeutic preparations]. 1977

T M Bass

A total of 640 strains of pathogenic staphylococci isolated from patients in Kiev in 1971--1975 were studied. High percentage of strains resistant to benzylpenicillin, tetracycline, streptomycin, chloramphenicol and ampicillin was registered. Strains resistant to erythromycin and oleandomycin amounted to 34.4 and 21.5 per cent respectively. Most of the strains proved to be sensitive to neomycin, monomycin, kanamycin, methicillin, oxacillin, lincomycin,rifampicin, ceporin and novobiocin. Strains resistant to ristomycin or oxychinolinic and nitrofuranic drugs were not found among pathogenic staphylococci.

D007239	Infections	Invasion of the host organism by microorganisms or their toxins or by parasites that can cause pathological conditions or diseases.	Infection,Infection and Infestation,Infections and Infestations,Infestation and Infection,Infestations and Infections
D004352	Drug Resistance, Microbial	The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).

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.
D014455	Ukraine	Country in Europe, bordering the Black Sea, between Poland, Romania, and Moldova in the west and Russia in the east. The capital is Kyiv.
