Abstract:
Antibiotic resistance of Haemophilus influenzae isolated (1,134) from 1991 to 2000 was highest with Co-trimoxazole (54.2%), then with ampicilline (44.9%), gentamicine (11.6%) and chloramphenicol (8.1%). Ceftriaxone was the least antibiotic resistance (1.4%) for 4 year surveillance. The percentage of H. influenzae strains producing Chloramphenicol – Axetyl – Transferase enzyme had been increasing by time and associated with the trend of chloramphenicol resistance (P<0.01)
