Abstract
Specimens collected from various pyogenic lesions of dogs were culturally examined for staphylococci and all staphylococcal isolates obtained from the specimens were also tested for susceptibility to 14 antimicrobial agents. A total of 123 isolates of staphylococci were identified. Of these, 120 were Staphylococcus intermedius and 3 were S aureus. All isolates were susceptible to oxacillin, cefazolin, cephalothin and amikacin, whereas more than 85% of the isolates were resistant to ampicillin, penicillin G and tetracycline. S intermedius isolates could be divided into 8 different biotypes by biotyping with the most common type accounting for 66.7% of the isolates. One hundred and seventeen(97.5%) isolates could be also divided into 26 different antibiogram patterns. The predominant antibiogram type accounted for 34.2% of the isolates. Antibiogram typing was found to be effective in distinguishing epidemiologically related isolates of S intermedius.
