[Susceptibility of some bacteria isolated from clinical samples to third-generation cephalosporins]

In this study, we evaluated the susceptibility of some Staph. aureus, Staph. epidermidis, E. coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas strains to third-generation cephalosporins in-vitro by disk diffusion technique which are in use in Turkey. These bacteria isolated from various clinical samples at the bacteriology laboratory in Ibni Sina hospital between January 1986-January 1987. The antibiotics used in this study are ceftizoxime, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, cefoperazone. According to the results of this study, it can be said that cefotaxime is the most effective third-generation cephalosporin against all these bacteria by testing in-vitro.
