RESUMO
Sensitivity tests to different antimicrobial agents were performed in 290 strains of S. aureus isolated from healthy population and from patients with various infectious diseases. Resistance to penicillin G varied from 80 to 97% and beta-lactamase production was demonstrated in all strains with CMI greater than 1 microgram/ml. Resistance to other drugs was variable: gentamicin 29.4%, erythromycin 24.5% and rifampicin 12%. All strains were sensitive to isoxazolyl penicillins with CMI less than 1 microgram/ml. There was no difference in the sensitivity pattern to antibiotics between strains isolated from community or from hospital acquired infections with reference to the antimicrobial resistance pattern.

Se efectuo la sensibilidad a diferentes antimicrobianos de 290 cepas de S.aureus, obtenidas de poblacion sana y enfermos con patologia diversa. Los porcentajes de resistencia a la penicilina G en los grupos estudiados variaron de 80 a 97 por ciento y se demostro produccion de betalactamasas en todas las cepas con CMI>1 ug/ml para este antibiotico. En el caso de gentamicina, eritromicina y rifampicina los porcentajes de resistencia fueron de 29,4, 24,5 y 12 por ciento respectivamente. Todas las cepas fueron sensibles a dicloxacilina, el 94,2 por ciento tuvieron CMI< 1 ug/ml y no encontramos diferencia en el patron de sensibilidad a los antibioticos probados entre las cepas procedentes de comunidad y las de adquisicion hospitalaria
