Fig. 1.
Patterns of prevalence of Staph. aureus and Salmonella.
(Sal alone=Samples positive for Salmonella only, S.a alone= Samples positive for Staph. aureus only, Overall Sal=Samples containing Salmonella alone and Salmonella in mixture with other bacteria; Overall S.a= Samples containing Staph. aureus alone and Staph. aureus in mixture with other bacteria; S.a and Sal=Samples containing both S.a and Salmonella; +ve for any growth=Samples positive for any growth of bacteria on blood agar.
Fig. 2.
Percentage variation of susceptibility (resistant, intermediate, sensitive) in Salmonella in comparison with Staph. aureus (A) and Staph. aureus in comparison to Salmonella (B).
Formula for A % variation= (% susceptible strains of Salmonella - % susceptible strains of Staph. aureus)/ % susceptible strains of Salmonella*100
Formula for B % variation= (% susceptible strains of Staph. aureus- % susceptible strains of Salmonella)/ % susceptible strains of Staph. aureus*100.
