They were further characterized into various Staphylococci species using API STAPH identification kit: Staph xylosus (31.1%), Staph lentus (10.8%), Staph hominis (10.8%), Staph cohnii cohnii (5.4%), Staph epidermidis (4.1%) others were Staph cohnii ureal., Staph hyicus, Staph lugdunensis (2.7% each) Staph caprae , Staph capitis, Staph haemolyticus, Staph scuiri, Staph chromogenes and Staph warneri (1.4% each). Microcossus spp was 8.2% while 13.5% isolates were undetermined. Kirby Baurer disk method was used for the antibiotics susceptibility test, the result showed gentamicin and ciprofloxacin to be most active (96.6%), followed by vancomycin (93.1) and pefloxacin (87.9). The isolates were resistant to ampicillin (96.6), amoxicillin clavulanic acid (65.5%), clindamycin 41.4%). The aim of this study is to classify the coagulase negative Staphylococci isolates into species and to determine their antibiotic susceptibility.
