Abstract

2689 nosocomial E.faecalis strains, isolated in 2008 from patients, hospitalized in 97 surgical department of common hospitals in different regions of Ukraine were studied. E.faecalis sensibility to 36 antibiotics was studied. Most active antibiotics were imipenem, meropenem, ampicillin/sulbactam, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, vancomycin, linezolid. E.faecalis high resistance to clindamycin (64.7%), clarithromycin (55.6%), cefoperazone (54.5%), ceftazidime (51.2%), tetracyclin (49%), penicillin (48.6%), cefepim (43.7%), doxycyclinum (43.7%), azithromycin (41.3%) and to ciprofloxacin (40.3%) was found out.
