Antibiotic discs included ampicillin (10 μg), chloramphenicol (30 μg), kanamycin (30 μg), penicillin (10 μg), tetracycline (30 μg) and vancomycin (30 μg).
Antibiotic resistance was evaluated by disc diffusion (inhibition zone diameter); S: >20 (mm), I: 15–19 (mm), R: ≤14 (mm).
S, susceptible; I, intermediate; R, resistant.
