Abstract:
In the period from Aug 2002 to Aug 2003, at the National Institute of Burn strains of S. aureus and 45 strains of P.aeruginosa were isolated from the blood of severious septicemia patients.In disk diffusion test,100% of S.aureus strains were resistant to penicillin, erythromycine, kanamycine, tobramycine, gentamycine, oxacilline, 36% in particular, resistant to vancomycine and 45% to teicoplanine. 100%,of P.aeruginosa were resistant to ticarcilline, cefoperazol, gentamycine, tobramycine and 50% were resistant to ciprofloxacine.The most common effective combinations were rifampicine+acide fusidic, or rifampicine+ vancomycine for S. aureus, and imipenem + fosfomycine or imipenem+netilmycine, or imipenem +piperacillin/tazobactam for P.aeruginosa
