Abstract:- The antibiotic sensitivity tests were performed for the isolated cultures obtained from hospital waste and laundry water in Lucknow. During the study, out of 16 cultures, 3 bacterial isolates were identified with the help of Bergey’s manual. They included; Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus species. The 6 antibiotics were used Amoxicillin, Ampicillin, Tetracycline, Ofloxacin, Chloramphenicol, Ciprofloxacin at lower to higher conc. (10µg- 10mg). The best results obtained for Ofloxacin, Ampicillin, Chloramphenicol antibiotics (10µg-1mg). The resistance of the 3 bacterial isolates to the commonly used antibiotics revealed that for all antibiotics, all the cultures were showing resistance and against Ofloxacin, it was 100% and for Chloramphenicol, the resistance activity was measured 80%. The MIC and MBC were also performed for identified cultures.
Key words:- Antibiotic sensitivity test, Resistance, MIC and MBC. |
