Content: One isolate was resistant to both tetracycline and trimethoprim. The remainder were resistant to a single antimicrobial agent; 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 demon- strated in only 2 of 5 strains having an increased MIC of one or both of these agents. hey words: Sluph.vlococcu$ saprophyticus , iir i nar) t raci in t r c t ion, ai i i ini ICI-C hi21 I agents, wscep t i b i l i t y test ing.
