Abstract

Ampicillin resistance of Haemophylus influenzae is primarily depends on beta lactamase activity. The resistance can be defined by detecting the enzyme activity of the bacteria. Other resistance mechanisms are very rare. in this study beta lactamase activity and ampicillin resistancy were investigated on H. influenzae strains isolated form upper respiratory trancts of 0-6 years old. Eight strains of 40 were found beta lactamase positive and the same eight strains were found resistant to ampicillin. Beta lactamase positive and the same eight strains were found resistant to ammpicillin. Beta lactamase enzyme activity of H. influenzae is a useful criteria to show the ampicillin resistancy of the bacteria.
