| Abstract | ||
| Antibiotic susceptibility test showed that all isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis were resistant to penicillin G and they have a high resistant to cefitriaxone & azithromycin ( 88.5 , 87.2 ) % of isolates respectively . A moderate resistant shown in resistance of isolates to amikacin (40% ) . While , the isolates were less resistant to ofloxacin , ciprofloxacin , cephalothin & vancomycin ( 20 , 14.3 , 11.4 , 10 ) % respectively . there were high significant differences ( p<0.01 ) in susceptibility of isolates to antibiotics except for cephalothin & vancomycin , also between cefitriaxone & azithromycin under ( p<0.05 ) . 31 ( 44.3 % ) of isolates had the ability to produced biofilm on a plastic surfaces of microtiter plates . | ||
