Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Nocardia asteroides [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1988
Testing of the susceptibility to 12 antimicrobial agents, including beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, ciprofloxacin, and erythromycin, was performed by broth microdilution on 78 consecutive clinical isolates of Nocardia asteroides. Surprisingly, a limited number of patterns of susceptibility were identified that included all drug classes, with 95% of ...

Antibiotic Susceptibility of Zoonotic Bacteria Isolated From Oral Cavities of Indigenous Dogs From Semi‐Urban Areas in Uganda

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
Dog bites lead to bacterial infections. Isolation and identification of zoonotic bacterial species from the oral cavities of indigenous dogs using biochemical tests were carried out. The antibiotic susceptibility profile of the commonly identified bacteria species was established using Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion approach.
