[Drug resistance of staphylococci to chemotherapeutic preparations].

A total of 640 strains of pathogenic staphylococci isolated from patients in Kiev in 1971--1975 were studied. High percentage of strains resistant to benzylpenicillin, tetracycline, streptomycin, chloramphenicol and ampicillin was registered. Strains resistant to erythromycin and oleandomycin amounted to 34.4 and 21.5 per cent respectively. Most of the strains proved to be sensitive to neomycin, monomycin, kanamycin, methicillin, oxacillin, lincomycin,rifampicin, ceporin and novobiocin. Strains resistant to ristomycin or oxychinolinic and nitrofuranic drugs were not found among pathogenic staphylococci.
