Abstract
Fourteen antibacterial agents belonging to 9 different groups of
antibiotics viz. aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, nitrofurantoin,
fluroquinolones, chloramphenicol, sulphonamides, tetracyclines,
penicillin and polymixin were used for in vitro
sensitivity testing of Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from
fifteen samples of chicken collected from retail shops in Mhow
city. The sensitivity (100%) was attributed to ciprofloxacin,
cefuroxime, ceftriaxone, cephotaxime, chloramphenicol,
gentamycin, kanamycin, nitrofurantoin, nalidixic acid and
ofloxacin followed by oxytetracycline (50%). All the isolates
were resistant to ampicillin and colistin antibiotics. That
means, none of the isolates were found to be sensitive for
penicillin and polymixin group of antibiotics. Multiple drug
resistance was also observed in all A. hydrophila
isolates. Out of total isolates, 100% were resistant to two
antimicrobial drugs and 50% to three drugs.
