1 Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Bacterial Isolates 32
Abstract
The combination of living and dead materials suspended in river which finally lead to the formation of sediment can be a source of contamination for water in river used for domestic activities. This study was conducted to investigate the isolation and identification of microorganisms present in the sediment of river. A total of 6 samples were analysed for the presence of bacteria. Isolation was done by pour plate method using selective agar, Eosin-methylene-blue (EMB) agar and MacConkey agar. Total coliform count was determined by pour plate method on MacConkey agar plates. Suspected isolates were identified and characterised using conventional biochemical methods. The antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates was carried out using five antibiotics: ampicillin, tretracycline, ceftriaxone, amoxicillin and ciprofloxacin by disc diffusion method. A total of 12 isolates made up of 5 genera (Escherichia coli, Slamonella spp., Klebsiella spp., Pseudomonas spp. and Shigella spp.) were isolated from the river seidment. Total viable count ranged from 2.9 x 107 cfu/ml to 5.1 x 107 cfu/ml. Total coliform count ranged from 2.0 x 105 cfu/ml to 3.1 x 105 cfu/ml. Resistance to test antibiotics ranged from 41% to 83.4%. These results show the river sediments serve as reservoirs of antibiotic resistant bacteria species which may have public health consequences.
