Antibiotic Sensitivity Pattern of Aeromonas Spp. Isolated from Food Animals and Immunocompromised Cancer Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
A total of 49 Aeromonas isolates obtained from food animals and immunocompromised human cancer patients from Nagpur, were investigated for antibiotic sensitivity pattern by disc diffusion method. Aeromonas spp. exhibited different level of antibiotic sensitivity based on the zone of inhibition observed around the antibiotic disc. Most of the isolates exhibited highest sensitivity towards ceftazidime, amikacin, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime and doxycycline hydrochloride. Drugs which showed significant resistance were ampicillin, amoxyclav and ampicillin/sulbactum. Among the isolates of Aeromonas spp. tested, Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas sobria exhibited maximum sensitivity towards ceftriaxone whereas, Aeromonas caviae showed highest sensitivity towards cefotaxime. These results demonstrated the presence of wide spread resistant Aeromonas spp. in the region.
