The antibiogram of enterobactercacae isolated from reaHv m fifteen (15) vended fruit samples comprising of watermelon naw-' 1“Vestlgated’ A total of Five bacteria isolates which belong to the genera ofPseudom’nna pineapple analYsedspp, Klebsiella spp and Shigella were isolated. The total viable’’cTunUTVC^T”' Salm°"fla ranged from 1.9 X 10’ to 5.0 X 10’that of Pineapple ranged fem 2 9 “10^o 4 0 //T,W, T total count of water melon ranged from 0.9 x 105to 5 5x 105 The mt i rf4’° ° whlIethe Paw-paw ranged from 3.5 x 10’ to 6.6 x 10’, that of pineapple ranged f om^O™ XS^Tltf Xm tzx03 observed in isolation and identification ofisolates The antibiotic micro °glca^ Procedure was the dises diffusion method.

The frequency showed that £ call revealed the iXi percentage occurrence followed of 31.25% while I’seudnuonas aeruginosa and ShlgeUa spp Ita the lowest percentage occurrence of 12.5%among the isolates. The antibiogram shows that Lol was highly sensitive to Nitrofurantoin (70%), Ceflxime (80%), and Gentamicin (70%) While highly resistance was revealed against This study shows heavy contamination ofready to eat fruit with antibiotic resistance microorganisms.
