Evaluation Of Antibiotic Resistant Organisms In Locally Produced Drinks
ABSTRACT
Five samples each of zobo, yoghurt and kunu were purchased
from different hawkers in Umuahia and Okigwe. The microbial qualities were
determined according to standard method. The antibiotic sensitive patterns were
also determined. Microbial count ranges from 3.5-8.9 x 1O cfu/ml in
zobo,2.O-8.O x 1O cfu/ml in yoghurt and 1.8-4.26 x 1O cfufml in kunu. Bacterial
isolated from the samples include, Pseudomonas species, Streptococcus specie,
Proteus species, Klebsiella species with high occurrence of Escherichia coli
and Staphylococcus aureus. Most of the isolates were resistant to Tetracylne,
Arnpicillin, Gentamicin, Colistin and Cotrimoxazoie. The occurrence of this
antibiotic resistant organisms in this drinks is of public health important and
may be responsible for prolong treatment of illness. Therefore proper quality
control of these products should be encourage so as t reduce the microbial load
as well as antibiotic resistant bacteria
