Abstract
Fifty strains of Staphylococcus intermedius were isolated from different pathological specimens originating from dogs during a six-month period. Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns against three fluoroquinolones were obtained on 50 Staphylococcus intermedius strains. In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed employing the disk diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer). The sensitivity against enrofloxacin and marbofloxacin showed that 98.0% of S. intermedius strains were sensitive and 96% were sensitive to ciprofloxacin. One of the tested strains showed multiple resistance to all tested fluoroquinolones.
