Abstract
Antimicrobial Resistant (AMR) is rapidly increasing across the globe. This increasing number of reports on continued emergence of resistance to antimicrobial drugs makes the physicians to know periodic monitoring of the emergence of resistance in the microorganisms in their local area. Development of resistance is not only in bacteria and also in some fungus. This study was conducted at the Central laboratory of Medical Microbiology, Al-khoms teaching hospital, AlKhoms, Libya. Bacteria and fungi were isolated from the samples arrived to the laboratory. Frequently isolated bacteria and fungi were taken for this study. Antibacterial susceptibility test was carried out in Mueller hinton agar and antifungal activity study was done with Sabouraud dextrose agar. The antimicrobial drugs were selected based on the availability and prescription frequency of these drugs in the study area. Combination of Amoxicillin and Clavulonic acid (Augumentine) shows highest antibacterial effect on most of the studied bacteria. In fungal study, Euconazole has more antifungal effect on both Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger.
