Objective: to assess the sensitivity of Staphylococcus aureus to main antibacterial preparations in children of Grodno region. Material and methods. The results of the study of all tonsil smears of children suffering from chronic tonsillitis and admitted to the Grodno Regional Center for Hygiene, Epidemiology and Public Health in 2010, were analyzed. The median age of the children was 8, and the interquartile range was 4-13. Inoculation, cultivation, identification and determination of antibiotic sensitivity was conducted in accordance with the existing regulations. Results. 1000 cultures belonging to 14 families, genera and species of microorganisms were received. 578 people identified a monoculture of bacteria, 200 revealed two cultures, and in 7 children - three cultures. In one case the growth of both bacteria and fungi was absent. 289 patients detected Staphylococcus aureus. In 66.7 % of the cases it was combined with other bacteria, and 16.9 % - with Candida fungi. Conclusion. At present, the children of Grodno region detect Staphylococcus aureus reliably more often in the autumn and in children over five. The majority of the identified cultures are resistant to β-lactam antibiotics and clavulanic acid. Metitillinresistent strains are prevalent. Sensitivity to certain antibacterial drugs has seasonal fluctuations and depends on the kind of coinfection.
