Content: 10 to tetracycline and 2 to trimethoprim. None of the isolates exhibited any detectable beta-lactamase activity when tested by the chro-mogenic cephalosporin method. Synergy between trimethoprim and sulphafurazole against Staph, saprophyticus was demonstrated in only 2 of 5 strains having an increased MIC of one or both of these agents. Previous article

RILEY? * Western Diagnostic Pathology, Myuree, Western Australia ? Department of Microbiology, University of Western Australia and Sir Charles Guirdner Hospital, Nedlands, Western Auslraliu Summary The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 10 antimicrobial agents for 96 urinary isolates of Staphylococcus saprophyticus cultured from symptomatic females in the Western Australian general community are reported. All antimicrobial agents tested showed good activjty, with the exceptions of norfloxacin (MESo 8 mg/L) and ampicillin (MIC9,, 0.5 mg/L). Eighty-three of 96 isolates were susceptible to all antimicrobial agents tested.
