Ibrahim Tesleem A., . and Adebowale Odeyemi T., . and Oloyede Adejare R., . (2011) Antibiotic resistance index of enteric bacteria isolated from hand dug wells in Owo Ondo State Nigeria. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
The antibiotic resistance index of enteric bacteria isolated from 6 different hand dug wells in major quarters of Owo Ondo State Nigeria was examined against antibiotics of choice; amoxicillin cotrimoxazole gentamicin nalidix acid ofloxacin augmentin tetracycline and nitrofurantoin. A total of 1881 isolates belonging to 7 major bacteria genera were identified and their percentage occurrence was E.coli 10.24 Pseudomonas sp 20.00 Bacillus sp 12.01 Streptococcus sp 8.10 Klebsiella sp 32.00 Salmonella sp 3.42 and Enterococcus sp 14.23.The antibiotic resistance index showed that the pathogenic bacterial isolates revealed resistance against tetracycline cotrimoxazole gentamicin amoxicillin and nalidix acid. Resistance to gentamicin 86 was the highest followed by amoxicillin 82 tetracycline 72 and cotrimoxazole 68.The results suggest the need for intensive surveillance of the isolates in water to prevent water borne infections and also to detect emerging antibiotic resistance phenotypes.
