Abstract

The most common causes of superficial pyoderma are Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Streptococcus pyogenes (S. pyogenes). Currently, many regions have reported of S. aureus and S. pyogenes resistance to fusidic acid and mupirocin, whereas there are regions that still susceptible. Antibiotic resistance is a health issues in many countries, which increase the morbidity and mortality. The susceptibility test is one of methods to determine the resistance problems. About 27 and 12 of S. aureus and S. pyogenes isolates, consecutively, were collected from 44 specimen samples of superficial pyoderma patients. All isolates were subjected to susceptibility test to fusidic acid and mupirocin using broth microdilution methods. This study showed differences between S. aureus to fusidic acid versus mupirocin, whereas S. aureus 8 times more susceptible to fusidic acid than mupirocin significantly (PR = 8.312; p = 0.001); S. pyogenes is more susceptible to fusidic acid than mupirocin significantly (p = 0.000). This study has been show Staphylococcus aureus and S. pyogenes are more susceptible to fusidic acid than mupirocin
