Suscetibilidade in vitro a antibióticos de cepas de Staphylococcus spp e Micrococcus spp isoladas a partir de mucosa oral de macacos-pregos (Cebus apella) mantidos em cativeiro / In vitro susceptibility to antibiotics in Staphylococcus spp e Micrococcus spp strains isolated from oral mucosae of captive capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella)
Twenty-nine capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) were used in this study. Fifty samples of oral mucous membrane were collected in area next to their muco-gingival-maxilar transition using sterilized swabs soaked in BrainHeart Infusion (BHI). All animals were clinically examined for periodontal evaluation. The samples were cultivated in appropriate media, namely simple broth, BHI broth and, bloodagar in order to get aerobic Gram positive cocos, from the Micrococcaceaefamily, isolated. Catalase test, Staphy-test (a quick-test for Staphylococcus aureus characterization) and bactracin-sensitivity test were the tools employed for their classification. Data were follows 73.1 percent of them were Staphylococcus spp; 15.4 percent Staphylococcus aureus; and, 11.5 percent Micrococcus spp. The isolated were strains tested for their in vitro susceptible to antibiotics by the agardiffusiontechnique. Concerning the Staphylococcus spp strains, 94.7 percent were susceptibility to cephalotin; however, 89.5 percent of them were resistant to penicillin; 97.4 percent to oxacilin; 55.3 percent to tetracicline; 57.9 percent to clindamicine; and 63.2 percent to amoxiciline. Staphylococcus spp strains studied presented the highest in vitrosensitivity degree to cephalotin.
