Multiple Drug Resistance in Verocytotoxic E. coli from Faecal Samples, Milk and Milk Products from Mathura and Vrindavan
Page No. : 55-56
ABSTRACT
In the present study, antibiogram assay of 20 VTEC isolates was performed against 13 antibiotics. Of these, 17 VTEC isolates were recovered from faeces (n=250), 2 from milk (n=125) and one isolate from milk products (n=75) from certain areas of Mathura and Vrindavan region. Isolates were found to be highly sensitive to ciprofloxacin (100%), followed by nalidixic acid (90%), cefotaxime (90%), ceftriaxone (85%), norfloxacin (80%), erythromycin (80%) and gentamicin (80%). Antibiotics like co-trimoxazole (80%) showed highest resistance, followed by penicillin-G (45%), amoxicillin (35%), cefuroxime (35%), amikacin (30%) and ampicillin (25%). This study revealed presence of multiple drug resistance in VTEC isolates.Keywords: Faecal, milk, milk products, multiple drug resistance, verocytotoxic E. coli
