CHARACTERISTIC OF SENSITIVITY TO ANTIBIOTICS AND PHAGES OF STAPHYLOCOCCI STRAINS, ISOLATED FROM MICE REPRODUCTIVE TRACT

Abstract

Aim. To study the characteristic of sensitivity to antibiotics and phages of staphylococci strains, isolated from mice reproductive tract. Methods and results. Isolated from the mice vagina staphylococci strains were identified as species S. aureus, S. saprophyticus, S. lentus and S. carnosus. Staphylococcus aureus was mostly isolated; the frequency of its detection was 61.3%. Its sensitivity to antibiotics was high: more than 73% of strains were sensitive to methicillin, gentamicin, ofloxacin, amikacin and ceftriaxone. 63.2% of strains were susceptible to penicillin. Conclusion. Sensitivity to phage drugs: 94.7% of S. aureus strains were sensitive to polyvalent pyobacteriophage, 100% – to staphylococcal liquid bacteriophage, and 63.2% – to intestiphage. 57.9% of S. aureus strains had the film formation ability.
