ANTI-BIOGRAM OF RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS.AUREUS ISOLATED FROM CLOCAL REGION OF POULTRY BIRDS SOLD IN MADONNA UNIVERSITY MONASTRY
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) is a Gram positive bacterium causing a wide variety of suppurative infections in both humans and animals. Aim/Objective: This study was designed to determine the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility profile of Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus), isolated from cloacae region of poultry birds sold in Madonna university elele monastery. Materials/Method: Samples were all screened for Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) bacteria by culturing in Nutrient broth, Mannitol salt agar and Mueller hinton broth/agar and antibiogram was carried out using Kirby-Bauer disc Diffusion technique on mueller hinton agar. Conclusion: The result of this study shows that 17% of the cloacal sample gotten from poultry contained Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus). It can be said that some of the poultry contained Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) which can be very harmful to the body, hence antibiotics should be used when necessary for treatment of poultry birds.
