ABSTRACT

Soil samples were collected from different location within Ubakala Abattoir, Umuahia and serially diluted followed by pour plate technique to screen for antibiotic producing colonies. The media used for the screening were nutrient agar, Tryptic soy agar, Cysteine Lactose Electrolyte deficient agar and DeMan, Rogosa and Sharpe agar. Antibiotic- sensitivity test was performed on Mueller-Hinton agar and the inhibitory effect of the isolated microorganism was found out by screening them against pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus spp, Proteus spp, Klebsiella spp, Salmonella spp, and Pseudomonas spp. Characterization was done by performing various biochemical tests and staining methods. The antibiotic producing bacteria isolated were Bacillus spp, Lactobacillus spp, Proteus spp and Micrococcus spp.
