In vitro Antibiotic Susceptibility of Bacterial Species, Identified from Uteri of Slaughtered Goats
Rind . R and S. N. Shaikh

Abstract: Antibiogram susceptibility of various bacterial species was determined. Among the eight different antibiotics: gentamycin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, kanamycin and ampicillin were found highly effective against most of the species of bacteria. The species, highly sensitive to gentamycin were S.intermedius, S.epidermidis, C.pyogenes, S.aureus, P.aeroginosa, K.aerogenes, L.monocytogenes, P.mirabilis and E.coli and their sensitivity recorded was 96.6, 93.3, 93.3, 86.6, 86.6, 80.5, 80, 80, and 80% respectively. On the other hand, P.multocida, S.epidermidis, S.intermedius, S.aureus, C.pyogenes, P.aeroginosa, L.monocytogenes, K.aerogenes, M.citreus and E. coli were observed highly sensitive to chloramphenicol and their sensitivity recorded was 93.3, 86.6, 86.6., 86.6, 86.6, 86.6, 93.3, 80, 80, and 73.3% respectively. The species P.multocida also showed sensitivity to tetracycline (96.6%). The species K.aerogenes, L.monocytogenes, C.pyogenes, S.aureus and M.citreus were also sensitive to tetracycline with 80% sensitivity. However, the species S.intermedius, S.epidermidis, C.pyogenes, P.aeroginosa and S.aureus were highly sensitive to kanamycin and its efficacy against above organisms was 93.3, 90, 90, 80 and 73.3% respectively. While S.epidermidis, S.intermedius and K.aerogenes were highly susceptible to ampicillin and their sensitivity was 80%.
