title: Bacterial isolates and drug susceptibility tests at Kaffa Regional Public Health Laboratory, south west Ethiopia.
abstract: A two year period bacteriological data was analysed and the frequent bacterial isolates from different clinical specimens included: S. aureus, 25% E. coli, 15%; Proteus spp 14%; Citrobacter-Enterobacter group, 10% coagulase negative Staphylococcus species, 9%; and other miscellaneous bacteria each less than 9%. The majority of the bacterial isolates were resistant to commonly available antimicrobial agents like tetracycline, ampicillin, and chloramphenicol.
