countries such as Indonesia. One of the causes is infection by bacteria. Infections
of the skin may cause some diseases such as dermatitis, abscesses, pioderma,
impetigo, acne and others. The drug often suggested for the treatment of bacterial
infections is tetracycline antibiotics. The purpose of this research was to
determine the percentage of increased antibiotic resistance to Gram-positive
coccus bacteria causing bacterial infections.
This Study was a literature study. The data were obtained from the
research results on the testof the study of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and
Staphylococcus epidermidis causing infections of the skin against tetracycline
antibiotics. The samples used in this study were swab wounds, pus, vesibulose
dermatosis, acne lesions and blood. The data obtained is analyzed using
descriptive analysis.
Based on the study of the literature conducted, a sympulsion of grampositive coccus bacteria causes of infections of the skin namely (Staphylococcus
aureus and staphylococcus epidermidis). The sensitivity of Staphylococcus aureus
bacteria is resistant to tetracycline antibiotics with an average percentage of 58%
from 78 samples in the period of 2010-2019. While Staphylococcus epidermidis is
still sensitive to tetracycline antibiotics with an average percentage of 78% of the
36 samples in the period of 2010-2019.
