The bacterial flora from leishmanial ulcers was studied. The aerobic species Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were found most frequently. Evaluation of the sensitivity of these species to antibiotics showed that 100% of these isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to vancomycin, amikacin and chloramphenicol, while 100% of the isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were sensitive to amikacin, gentamicin and tobramycin. These species were generally resistant to penicillins and tetracycline.
