Antibiotics Resistance Profile Of Escherichia Coli Isolated From Apparently Healthy Domestic Livestock

Antibiotics Resistance Profile Of Escherichia Coli Isolated From Apparently Healthy Domestic Livestock

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the antibiotic resistance profile of Escherichial Coli insulate from supposedly healthy domestic beast viz cow, scapegoats and funk from Osun State Nigeria.E. Coli was insulated using Eosin methylene Blue Agar( EMB) and linked by conventional microbiological fashion. The insulate were tested against 14 antibiotics using the slice prolixity system. A aggregate of 42 different antibiotics resistance profile were observed with each insulate showing resistance to at least four or further medicines tested. Generally, theE. coli isolates showed resistance rates of93.8 to Ampicilin;15.3 to Chloramphenicol,52.7 to cloxacillin,74.3 Erythromycin,20.9 to Gentamicin,53.8 to Penicillin,17.7 to Streptomycin,67.3 to Tetracyclin,21.1 to Ceftazidine70.7 to Cefuroxine,20.5 to Cefixine,28.8 to Ofloxacine,58.6 to Augmentin,27.2 to Nitorfurantion27.3 to Ciprofloxacin. Statistical analysis showed that average number of resistance phenotypes per insulate was significantly advanced for cow compared with flesh. A significant public health concern observed in this study is that multi medicine resistant commensalE. Coli strains may constitute a implicit force of resistance genes that could be transferred to pathogenic bacteria.
