Abstract
190 isolates from clinical specimens were tested in vitro to determine their susceptibility pattern against augmentin. Of the 132 strains of Enterobacteriaceae tested, 109 (82.6%) were susceptible. 41 (93.2%) of the 44 gram-positive bacteria tested were also susceptible to augmentin. Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens were resistant to augmentin. However, augmentin showed increased activity against Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus when compared with ampicillin.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
