ANTIBIOGRAM STUDIES OF KLEBSIELLA ORGANISM ISOLATED FROM MASTITIC MILK

Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 1

Abstract

The present study was conducted with the aim of isolating causative agent and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolates from the raw milk samples of cattle. Isolation and biochemical testing of mastitis causing organism was carried out in suitable media and following morphological identification and biochemical testing, colony characteristics showed the presence of Klebsiella organism in thirty milk samples. After confirmation of Klebsiella, organisms were subjected to antibiogram studies using nine different antimicrobial agents. Isolates were sensitive to amikacin (75%), gentamicin (75%), ciprofloxacin (50%), and streptomycin (50%), intermediate sensitive to enrofloxacin (75%), ceftrioxone (75%), azithromycin (75%), resistant to tylosin (75%), and cephalexin (75%). Since culture of milk showed Klebsiella organism which can be potential hazard for the health of humans, antimicrobial testing may be helpful in find out most effective antibiotic. Amikacin and gentamicin were found to be the most effective antibiotics. Reaching to the conclusion that antibiogram and microbiological testing is necessary for the control and treatment of the disease according to study.
