[Drug resistance of opportunistic enterobacteria isolated from various sources].
Resistance of 159 strains of opportunistic enterobacteria to 9 antibacterial drugs was studied. The strains were isolated from man and cattle. It was shown that the overwhelming majority of the isolates (93 per cent) were polyresistant irrespective of the genus. There was a high frequency of the strains resistant to the widely used antibiotics such as chloramphenicol (73 per cent), ampicillin (73.6 per cent) and rifampicin (95.6 per cent) and sulfanilamides (99.3 per cent). Gentamicin and nalidixic acid proved to be the most active against the cultures: 11.9 and 10 per cent of the resistant strains, respectively. The strains of enterobacteria isolated from different sources had a sensitivity to the antibiotics. Multiple antibiotic resistance to at least 5 drugs, variability of the spectra and high resistance were more characteristic of the isolates from the animals. The necessity of a rational use of antibacterial drugs in veterinary is indicated.
