The purpose of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility profile to antimicrobial drugs of the anaerobic Gram-positive cocci from the oral cavity and fecal specimens of marmosets (Callithrix penicillata and Callithrix jacchus) maintained in captivity. The samples isolated from fecal specimens were found to be sensitive to penicillin G, cephalothin, cefotaxime, ampicillin and chloramphenicol as well as they showed resistance to clindamycin, cefoxitin, erythromycin, tetracycline, imipenem and metronidazole. The isolated oral samples were sensitive to penicillin G, cephalotin, cefoxitin, cefotaxime and chloramphenicol, but resistant to clindamycin, ampicillin, metronidazole, erythromycin, tetracycline and imipenem. The susceptibility profile to antimicrobial drugs of intestinal and oral Gram positive cocci of C. penicillata and C. jacchus showed the existence of multi-resistance in some strains, up to 5 drugs.Downloads
