Antimicrobial Susceptibility Of Gram Negative Bacteria Isolated From Urine Samples From Students Of Michael Okpara University Of Agriculture Umudike
ABSTRACT
Bacterial susceptibility of gram negative bacteria isolated
from urine samples was studied.50 Urine samples collected from Michael Okpara
University of Agriculture 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, Kiebsiella species and
Psuedomonas aeruginosa. Among the isolated organisms, Escherichia coli had the
highest percentage occurrence (40%) followed by Proteus species (20%),
Psuedomonas aeruginosa (12%) and Kiebsiella species(6%). 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.
