A STUDY ON DRUG SENSITIVITY OF Staphylococcus aureus ISOLATED FROM WASTE WATER OF HOSPITAL ENVIROMENT
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
The aim of this study to investigate the water sample to find out how many strains of Staphylococcus aureus were contaminating. Different antibiotic means different strains of isolate. Medically important pathogens of Staphylococcus aureus strains were isolated from water sample and examined. Manitol salt agar was used for the isolation of Staphylococci and comfirmation of S.aureus by means of Gram staining technique. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method. Antibiotic susceptibility tests indicated that four isolated were present in the water sample. Out of these four isolated, two were found to be multiple drug resistant. These two strains are examined by minimal inhibitory concentration of vancomycin. Antibiogram as a typing method could be used to differentiate one isolated from another.
