Preteus was sensitive to: Augmentin, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, amikacin, cefotaxim, nalidixic acid and resistant to: ampicillin, chloramphenicol and co-trimoxazol. Enterobacter was sensitive to: cefotaxim, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxon and resistant to: gentamicin, ampicilin and chloramphenicol.
