We investigated species and strains of bacteria, chiefly Staphylococci, isolated from the lesions of several pyodermas and their sensitivities to several antibiotics during [1975][1976][1977][1978][1979]. In furuncle and impetigo contagiosa, Staphylococcus aureus comprised most of the isolated bacteria. In folliculitis, Staphylococcus aureus' and Staphylococcus epidermidis occurred at about equal frequency among the isolated bacteria, and in infectious atheroma, more than half of the bacterial isolates were Staphylococcus epidermidis. The sensitivities of the strains of Staphylococcus aureus were in the order of CEX, GM > CP > TC > ABPC, AMPC > EM, and those of Staphylococcus epidermidis were in the order of CEX, GM > CP > ABPC, AMPC > EM, TC. The sensitivities of the strains of Staphylococcus aureus were generally lower than those of Staphylococcus epidermidis,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
