S. aureus, Corynebacterium spp. Proteus mirabilis. aeruginosa was most commonly showed highest percentages resistance against antimicrobial agents tested. susceptible ciprofloxacin imipenem, but much less cefotaxime, moxalactam trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. highly sensitive amoxicillin/clavulanate, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, rifampin teichoplanin. 100% resistant penicillin G ampicillin.
