title: [Susceptibility to antibiotics of Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from pus specimens obtained from patients referred for autovaccine therapy].
abstract: Autovaccine was prepared for 268 patients treated for: osteomyelitis--95, acne--63, furunculosis--53, and other pyogenic infections--57 patients. 540 bacterial strains were isolated from the specimens obtained from patients. 170 Staphylococcus aureus strains were cultured, what represents 31.5% of the isolated strains. Isolated Staphylococcus aureus strains were most often penicillin-resistant (91.5%), amplicillin-resistant (86%), less frequently tetracycline-resistant (73%), and doxycycline-resistant (53.1%). Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from outpatients were found to be less resistant to particular antibiotics as compared to the group of strains isolated from the inpatients receiving treatment in different hospital departments. 13.5% of studied Staphylococcus aureus strains were methicillin-resistant.
