Antimicrobial Susceptibility Of Gram Negative Bacteria Isolated From Urine Samples From Students Of Michael Okpara University Of Agriculture Umudike:-Ujah, Roseline U
ABSTRACT
Bacterial susceptibility of gram negative
bacteria isolated from urine samples was studied.50 Urine samples collected
from Michael Okpara University ofAgriculture students. Gram negative bacteria
was isolated using streak method of inoculation on Cystiene Lactose Electrolyte
Deficient Agar (C.L.E.D).The isolated organisms were identified and confirmed
using some morphological and biochemical tests which includes Gram stain ,
oxidase test, voges proskauer test, citrate test, methyl red test, sugar
fermentation test, catalase test, indole test,H2S test and motility test.
Isolated gram negative bacteria includes Escherichia coli, Proteus species,
Klebsiella species and Psuedomonas aeruginosa. Among the isolated organisms,
Escherichia coh had the highest percentage occurrence (40%) followed by Proteus
species (20%), Psuedomonas aeruginosa (12%) and Klebsiella species(6°/d). Out
of the 10 antimicrobial agents used, the isolates showed resistance mostly to
Penicillin, Nalidixic acid, Augumentin, Cephalexin, and to septrin and were
susceptible to Travid,, Streptomycin, Reflacine, Ciprofloxacin, Streptomycin.
E.coli was highly sensitive to Tarivid, Ciprofloxacin and Streptomycin but
resistant to Aminoglycoside and Augmentin. More so, the study has provided
important information on alternatives on antimicrobial drugs to use in the
treatment of urinary tract infections.
