“…The extensive antimicrobial susceptibility to Gatifloxacin in the current study may be due to their infrequent use in veterinary practice. The use of most fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin) and the aminoglycosides (streptomycin) in majority of cases even without confirmatory diagnosis of cause could be one possible reason behind rapidly developing resistance against the drugs of these classes (Kopecko and Punch, 1971;Williamson, 1983;von Baum and Marre, 2005;Ewers et al, 2012;Escobar et al, 2013). Irrational and indiscriminate use of antibiotic drugs led to unresponsiveness of microbial agents or developing resistance of bacterial strains against various drugs.…”

| The present study demonstrated bacterial etiology of skin affections and their antibiogram profiling of different animal species of various age groups. A total of 255 samples from cattle, buffalo, dogs, goats, sheep, camel and horses were collected over a period of two years (2012)(2013)(2014) from Mathura, (U.P.) India, and nearby surrounding areas. Clinical samples were collected from variety of skin disorders, subjected to laboratory isolation and identification as per standard protocols. The bacterial infection, Staphylococcus aureus, was the most common isolate (36.22 %), followed by E. coli (34.59 %), Pseudomonas (20.54), Bacillus (16.21), Klebsiella (12.43), Micrococcus spp (8.11 %), Streptococcus pyogens (7.56), Proteus (6.49), Clostridium (3.78), Gram negative non-lactose fermenter (2.7%), Gram positive non-spore producing bacilli (2.16) and Fusobacterium (0.54 %). Bacterial isolates obtained were subjected to in vitro antibiotic sensitivity testing by disc diffusion method against 23 commercially available antimicrobial discs. Results of the current study revealed maximum sensitivity to gatifloxacin (94.03%), amikacin (85.7%), mild sensitivity to sparfloxacin (44.85%) and gentamicin (43.48%); emergence of multi-drug resistant bacterial strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E.coli appeared to be an important finding. Present study is intended to document the complex microbial inhabitants of wounds from animals and their antimicrobial sensitivity pattern and strongly recommended the use of antimicrobial sensitivity testing to know the rapidly changing pattern of antibiotic activity. The study will further aid to the existing literature for planning new alternative therapeutic strategies against rising global health havoc of multidrug resistance.

“…Some E. coli isolates caused urinary tract infection, meningitis, peritonitis intestinal and extra-intestinal infections and their resistance for the longest used antimicrobial agents was consistently the highest [7]. During a 12-year period (1971)(1972)(1973)(1974)(1975)(1976)(1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982), the susceptibility of E. coli, isolated from hospitals, showed no major change in resistance to all tested antimicrobial drugs [7].…”

In contrast, E. coli collected during 1997-2007 from urine specimens showed increasing resistance to ciprofloxacin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid [8].…”

This study aimed to determine the emergence and spread of resistant bacteria in Jeddah Ministry of Health hospitals. Sixteen month follow-up (January 2010 to April 2011) study was carried out and clinical isolates of hospitalized patients were collected, identified and their antimicrobial resistance was determined using two automated systems, Phoenix and Vitek 2. Results revealed that 6195 isolates were identified of which 94% (5846/6195) were Gram negatives. In Escherichia coli, the resistance was 40% ( M. A. Halwani et al.781
