Abstract
Susceptibility of 206 H. influenzae isolates was evaluated by disk dif fusion method for 11 antimicrobial agents. No isolates were found to b e resistant to third-generation cephalosporins, amoxicillin+clavulanic acid, gentamicin and ciprofloxacin. Four untypable isolates (1.9%) we re beta-lactamase producing ampicillin-resistant; one of these was als o resistant to chloramphenicol. The rate of resistance against rifampi n was 0.5 percent.
