English. The use of antimicrobial agents in veterinary medicine has been often regarded as the leading cause of the acquired antibiotic resistance. Today, multiresistant Gram-positive bacteria have become an increasing problem in both hospitals and the community, frequently leaving the glycopeptides as the only therapeutic option. In an attempt to explore the resistance of staphylococci isolated from clinically health buffaloes to antibiotics commonly used in humans, the objective of this study was to test Staphylococcus aureus strains for antibiotic resistance. Since no studied have been performed on the antibiotic resistance of strains of S. aureus isolated from buffaloes to antimicrobial used in humans, a collection of S. aureus was investigated with respect to this property

Attualmente, i batteri Gram-positivi multiresistenti rappresentano un problema crescente negli ambienti ospedalieri e nelle comunita', lasciando frequentemente, come unica possibilita' terapeutica, l'impiego dei glicopeptidi. Allo scopo di indagare la resistenza di stafilococchi isolati da bufale clinicamente sane ad antibiotici comunemente utilizzati in medicina umana, e' stata saggiata la resistenza di ceppi di Staphylococcus aureus agli antibiotici, considerata l'assenza di studi relativi a questo aspetto]
