Table 2. Ratio of percentages of antimicrobial drug resistance against third-generation cephalosporin CTX and the fluoroquinolone CIP in selected Enterobacteriaceae isolated from wound infections, Ghana, 2014*.
| Drug resistance | % Resistant |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proteus mirabilis, n = 20 | Eshcerichia coli, n = 19 | Klebsiella pneumoniae, n = 13 | Enterobacter cloacae complex, n = 10 | |
| CTX-S + CIP-S | 80.0 | 42.1 | 53.8 | 60.0 |
| CTX-S + CIP-R | 15.0 | 10.5 | ND | ND |
| CTX-R + CIP-S | ND | 5.3 | ND | 10.0 |
| CTX-R + CIP-R | 5.0 | 42.1 | 46.2 | 30.0 |
*Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by using VITEK 2 (bioMérieux, Marcy-l'Étoile, France) according to the EUCAST breakpoint tables for interpretation of MICs, version 4.0, 2014 (7). CIP, ciprofloxacin; CTX, cefotaxime; ND, not detected; R, resistant; S, susceptible.
