Comparative Analysis of the Antimicrobial Strength of Five Most Common Antibiotics Used In Research Clinic Umudike
ABSTRACT
The comparative
analysis of the antimicrobial strength of five antibiotics commonly used in
National Root Crop Research Institute clinic was investigated. The antibiotics
were Gentamicin, Chloramphenicol, Ciprofloxacin, Tetracycline and Penicillin.
The commercially prepared antibiotics discs were tested against pure cultures
of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and
Salmonella sp. The result obtained showed that ciprofloxacin gave a high
sensitivity against Staphylococcus aureus (41mm). Penicillin showed sensitivity
against Staphylococcus aureus (33mm). Tetracycline gave high sensitivity
against Escherichia coli (29mm). No organism showed resistance to
Chloramphenicol, Salmonella sp was resistant to Gentamicin, Tetracycline,
Penicillin and Ciprofloxacin. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was resistant to Penicillin
and Ciprofloxacin and most sensitive to Gentamicin (17mm). Of all these
antibiotics, Gentamicin, chloramphenicol, Tetracycline, Penicillin and
Ciprofloxacin have been found to be effective in treating these bacteria and
other related infections. They can therefore be used singly or in combination
for better result.
