title: [Susceptibility to antibiotics of bacteria from genera Micrococcus, Kocuria, Nesterenkonia, Kytococcus and Dermacoccus].
abstract: Two hundred and nineteen strains from genera Micrococcus, Kocuria, Nesterenkonia, Kytococcus and Dermacoccus isolated from different sources, such as saliva, skin of palm and forearm and from vestibule of nose were tested. The susceptibility to doxycycline, cetriaxone, cefuroxyme, amikacyne, amoksycillin with clavulanic acid, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, penicillin and erythromycin were estimated. In general, bacteria from these genera are sensitive to most of selected antibiotics. Most of the strains showed resistance to ampicillin and erythromycin. None of these strains produced beta-lactamases. In infectious caused by bacteria from genera Micrococcus, Kocuria, Nesterenkonia, Kytococcus and Dermacoccus in clinical treatment should be used amoksycillin with clavulanic acid, doxycycline, cetriaxone, cefuroxyme, or amikacine because, with one's own range of activity embrace highest percentage of investigated strains.
