Antibiotic resistance pattern of enterococci isolates by disc diffusion method. Figures in parenthesis are percentages.
| No. of Isolates (%) | % Resistance | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gentamycin (120 μg) |
Ciprofloxacin (5 μg) |
Ampicillin (10 μg) |
Vancomycin (30 μg) |
Teicoplanin (30 μg) |
Nitrofurantoin^ (300 μg) |
Norfloxacin^ (10 μg) |

*E. gallinarum strains are intrinsically resistant to vancomycin, but they may appear sensitive by disc diffusion method.
