in-vitro antibiotic susceptibility and molecular analysis of anaerobic bacteria isolated in cape town, south africa.	one hundred and twenty-three anaerobic isolates from cape town, south africa, were tested in vitro against cefoxitin, chloramphenicol, metronidazole, co-amoxiclav, benzylpenicillin and clindamycin. forty-five gram-positive organisms were tested against rp59500 (a streptogramin). resistance in the gram-positive isolates was as follows: of the clostridium perfringens isolates, 4% were resistant to benzylpenicillin and 4% to clindamycin; of the peptostreptococcus anaerobius isolates, 10% were resis ...	1998	9738844
bacterial enteritis in ostrich (struthio camelus) chicks in the western cape province, south africa.	ostrich (struthio camelus) chicks less than 3 mo age are observed to experience a high mortality rate that is often associated with enteritis. this study was undertaken to investigate the infectious bacteria implicated in ostrich chick enteritis. postmortems were performed on 122 ostrich chicks aged from 1 d to 3 mo and intestinal samples were subjected to bacterial culture. bacterial isolates were typed by pcr and serotyping. escherichia coli (e. coli; 49%) was the most frequently isolated from ...	2015	25840967
