A total of 623 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were tested for sensitivity to antibiotics by the disk diffusion method and were bacteriophage typed. The emergence of isolates resistant to gentamicin was noted. Eighteen percent of the isolates from patients on surgical services were resistant to gentamicin; 83% of these resistant strains were phage type 95. Five percent of the isolates from patients on services other than surgical were resistant to gentamicin, and 61% of these gentamicin-resistant strains were phage type 94, 96. Physicians are urged to be aware of the possible emergence of such strains with epidemic potential.
采用纸片扩散法对总共623株金黄色葡萄球菌临床分离株进行了抗生素敏感性测试，并进行了噬菌体分型。注意到出现了对庆大霉素耐药的分离株。外科病房患者的分离株中有18%对庆大霉素耐药；这些耐药菌株中有83%是95型噬菌体。非外科病房患者的分离株中有5%对庆大霉素耐药，这些庆大霉素耐药菌株中有61%是94、96型噬菌体。敦促医生注意可能出现具有流行潜力的此类菌株。
