Studies On The Distribution Of Antibiotic Resistant Salmonella Species From Hospital And Non-Hospital Environments In Abia State
ABSTRACT
This work was done to study the distribution of antibiotic resistant Salmonella species from hospital and non-hospital environment. Clinical sample such as stool and non-clinical sample such as swabs of abattoir’s tables were inoculated on Samonella Shigella agar using the streak method of inoculation. Resistance testing using a different antibiotics was done using the disc diffusion method. The highest resistance level of both isolates from both environment was recorded against Nalidixic acid, Gentamycin and Ampicillin (100%). This was followed by Streptomycin and Ceporex (80% and 70% respectively for hospital and non-hospital environment). Ciproflox showed the highest activity against the isolates from the different environment (80% and 100% activity for hospital and non-hospital environment respectively). The Salmonella isolates from hospital environment were more susceptible than those from non-hospital environment. Proper use of antibiotics should be encouraged to avoid development of resistance by organisms.
