Variations in Antibiotic Susceptibility Profile of Staphylococcus aureus after Povidone-Iodine Stress

Rifampicin, ciprofloxacin, methicillin and chloramphenicol showed a significant decrease in zone of inhibition at 10% povidone-iodine concentrations compared to unstressed strains. [...]10% povidone-iodine stress were mostly associated with higher sensitivity to cotrimoxazole, cephalothin and cephal...

Summary:Rifampicin, ciprofloxacin, methicillin and chloramphenicol showed a significant decrease in zone of inhibition at 10% povidone-iodine concentrations compared to unstressed strains. [...]10% povidone-iodine stress were mostly associated with higher sensitivity to cotrimoxazole, cephalothin and cephalexin. The observed changes in antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of S. aureus strains can contribute to povidone-iodine stress; although, a great deal remains to determine the exact mechanism of antibiotics susceptibility variation. [...]extend study on wider range of skin and wound associated pathogens necessitate to reach a comprehensive conclusion.
