Staphylococcus aureus, a normal flora of human and animals is recognized as an opportunistic pathogen that cause several infections. In present study, eighty S. aureus isolates were recovered from different animals such as sheep, goat, buffalo, camel, horse, cattle, dog and human. These isolates were exposed to in vitro antibiotic sensitivity test using eleven antimicrobial agents which included ampicillin (10µg), amikacin (30µg), chloramphenicol (30µg), sulfanilamide (30µg), erythromycin (15µg), gentamicin (10µg), kanamycin (30µg), neomycin (30µg), ofloxacin (5µg), penicillin G (10 IU) and tetracycline (30µg) by disc diffusion technique. Results indicated that camel isolates of S. aureus were found100% sensitive to tetracycline. While, ofloxacin and amikacin were found 100% effective against sheep and dog isolates respectively. Whereas, chloramphenicol showed 100% sensitivity against isolates of dog and horse. Ampicillin (0% sensitive to buffalo, cattle, goat, dog and horse isolates) and sulfanilamide (0% sensitive to buffalo, cattle, camel, goat and sheep isolates) showed least sensitivity as compared to other antimicrobial agents. However, poultry isolates showed least, while camel and horse isolates showed most response for the antimicrobial agents. These results indicates the host-microbe interaction and also probable role of host in progression of resistance in S. aureus against antimicrobial agents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
