Microbial Quality And Antibiogram Of Isolates From Commercial Fruit Juices
ABSTRACT
The microbial quality and
antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria isolated from commercial fruit juices
was investigated. The bacteria isolated from the fruit juices were Escherichia
coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The total viable count ranged from 4.2x10° to 1.2x10°
cfu/ml while the total coliform count ranged from 3.0x10° through 6.6x10°
cfu/ml. Antibiogram of this isolates was determined using the disc diffusion
method. The antibiotic sensitivity test of the bacterial showed ciprofloxacin
and cefuroxine were most effective to Escherichia coli and Ofloxacin was most
effective to Staphylococcus aureus. Also Escherichia coli was mildly sensitive
to nitrofurontoin and augumentin, while Staphylococcus aureus was mildly
sensitive to ceftriaxone and erythromycin. Some of the fruit juices are of poor
microbial quality and therefore a corrective measure should be taken before
distributing the fruit juices to the consumer market.
