Abstract
Hand bag is commonly used multipurpose personal gadget of female and it has been documented to be an important source for the growth of microorganisms. The aim of this study was to determine antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria isolated from female students handbags in Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye. Thirty (30) sample were collected and isolated on Nutrient agar and MacConkey agar. The total viable bacteria counts of the hand bags of the selected female students on nutrient agar ranged from 4 cfu/ml to 90 cfu/ml, On MacConkey agar, the range was from 5 cfu/ml to 92 cfu/ml. The results showed that the handbags are frequently colonized with bacteria such Staphylococcus aureus (n=15), Citrobacter freundii (n=13), Klebsiella pneumonae (n=10), Enterobacter cloacae (n=7) Enterobacter aerogenes (n=5) Escherichia coli (n=14) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (9).Staphylococcus aureus was the most frequent isolated organisms while Enterobacter aerogenes was the least isolated organism. All the isolates were susceptible to ciprofloxacin, 56% of the isolates were susceptible to vancomycin, 28% of the isolates were susceptible to clindamycin while 7% were susceptible to erythromycin. The contamination rate of handbags in this study calls for concern. However the usage of handbags cannot be restricted among female students hence proper cleaning, disinfection and natural sterilization methods like sunlight drying were recommended to reduce the growth of bacteria in these handbags.
