SENSITIVITY OF MICROORGANISMS ISOLATED FROM PATHOLOGICAL MATERIAL TO ANTIMICROBIAL PREPARATION

Excessive and uncontrolled use of antibiotics commonly results in the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Therefore, the main aim of these studies was to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of microorganisms isolated from the pathological material. 
The article describes the susceptibility of isolated strains to the following antibiotics: ampicillin, amoxicillin, oxacillin, ofloxacin, streptomycin, cefazolin, gentamicin, amikacin, amoxiclav, erythromycin, enrofloxacin, lincomycin, tetracycline, doxycycline, vancomycin, rifampicin, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, tylosin, nitrofurantoin, polymyxin B. 
During the study of six Escherichia coli and three Salmonella enteritidis strains, it was ascertained that they demonstrated different susceptibility to the studied antibiotics, in particular, only two E. coli isolates, which is 33,3 %, were resistant to streptomycin, 50 % of the isolated strains were susceptible. 
When determining the susceptibility, it was established that all isolated E. coli isolates were resistant to cefazolin, vancomycin, oxacillin, and 83,3 % were resistant to amoxicillin, ampicillin, vancomycin, amoxiclav, rifampicin. 
33,3 % of Salmonella enteritidis isolates were moderately susceptible to streptomycin, amoxicillin, and ampicillin, and 66,7 % were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, and enrofloxacin. 
All isolated S. enteritidis strains were found to be resistant to cefazolin, tylosin, vancomycin, oxacillin, lincomycin, and erythromycin, 100 % susceptible to ciprofloxacin, amikacin, and ofloxacin and 68,7 % moderately susceptible to amoxicillin and gentamicin.
