ABSTRACT
The handles of car doors are one of the most important environmental places for microbial infection and disease transmission through a direct contact on a daily basis. The aim of this study is to isolate bacteria from door handles, identify the isolated bacteria and carry out antibiotics sensitivity test on the isolated organisms.a total number of twenty(20)bacterial genera were isolated from door handle of public transport vehicles in Umuahia, Abia state of which four(4) different species were identified as Staphylococcus aureus, bacillus spp, Escherichia coli and salmonella spp. The percentage occurrence of the bacterial isolates indicated that the Staphylococcus aureus had the highest percentage occurrence of 40% while the least percentage occurrence of 15% was recorded for Escherichia coli. The antibiotic sensitivity test shows that Bacillus spp had the highest sensitivity of 22mm with ciprofloxacin while the sensitivity of 0mm was recorded for augmentin and ofloxacin respectively.
