Antimicrobial susceptibility profiling of Staphylococcus aureus of camel (Camelus dromedarius) skin origin
Journal Title: Animal Biology & Animal Husbandry - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Camel (Camelus dromedarius) is an important desert animal species contributing greatly to the desert economy in many ways. The skin abscesses and wounds caused by Staphylococcus aureus reduces working efficiency of the animal and most of the times it is very difficult to manage and treat the wounds and abscess due to certain factors related to this organism together with its ability to acquire antibiotic resistance very quickly. The present study was undertaken with the view to determine efficacy of 25 different antibiotics against 15 S. aureus organisms isolated from camel skin wounds. The study revealed that the most effective antibiotic was linizolid against which all the isolates were sensitive followed by azithromycin and gentamicin against which 93.33% of the isolates were sensitive; 80.00% isolates were sensitive to methicillin, levofloxacin, rifampicin, ofloxacin and vancomycin, 73.33% to azlocillin, 60.00% to bacitracin and norfloxacin and other antibiotics were still less effective. Four of the antibiotics viz. ampicillin, cefexime, metronidazole and nalidixic acid were found completely ineffective as resistance to these antibiotics was shown by all the isolates.
