Abstract

A total of 34 apparently healthy females, whose ages fell within the ranges of 16-30years were randomly selected and screened for Staphylococcus, a normal flora, in the nostrils. The antibiogram typing show that strain 0534135 was most sensitive while the most resistant strain was 00500015. The isolates were all sensitive to Gentamycin (100%), while Amplicox (0%) and the Penicillin’s (Amoxicillin, Ampicillin and Cloxacillin) (0%) had no strain showing sensitivity. This study has been able to demonstrate a high resolving power strain discrimination as well as delineation.
