chloramphenicol (5.2%),
ticarcillin (5.2%), ciprofloxacin (3.5%), gentamicin (1.7%), and imipinem
(1.7%). Additionally, the prevalence of resistance or intermediate
resistance to cephalothin, ampicillin, and trimethoprim/
sulfamethoxazole was greater than 90% (96.6%, 94.8%, and 93.1%,
respectively). All strains were sensitive to kanamicin and sulphonamide,
but were resistant to two or more antibiotics; resistance to
three antimicrobials was observed in 46.6% (27/58) of the isolates,
and the most common resistance types was A-Cf-Sxt, observed in
22 (81.5%) isolates; resistance to four antimicrobials was observed
in 25.9% (15/58) of the isolates; of these, the most common resistance
type was A-Cf-Nx-Sxt, observed in 9 (60%) isolates
