“…The sensitive to gentamycin here is similar to a previous study, 20 which recorded a high sensitivity to gentamycin. Workers at Kenya, 25 Uganda, 26 and also in Nigeria, [27][28][29][30] have found a high resistance to ampicillin which is in agreement with findings in this study.…”

“…V. cholerae O1 isolates from Africa have been reported with the resistance pattern SxtSAPT (P, penicillin; T, tetracycline) [25,26]. In all, 81% of V. cholerae isolates in the present study showed the biochemical reactions of V. cholerae O1 biotype El Tor of the seventh pandemic, but their antibiotic susceptibility patterns differed in some respects from a number of the published reports [24,27,28].…”

“…The following antibiotic disks were used (mg): doxycycline (30), chloramphenicol (30), trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (25), gentamicin (10), tetracycline (30), erythromycin (15), oxytetracycline (30), ciprofloxacin (5), furazolidone (100) and streptomycin (10). The antibiotic disks were purchased from Difco Laboratories (Detroit, MI, USA).…”

Vibrio cholerae is again the subject of attention on account of the current increase in the world-wide incidence of cholera. In this study, 200 clinical isolates of V. cholerae serotypes O1 and non-O1, non-O139, were collected from different provinces in Iran. The isolates were subjected to biochemical analysis, antibiogram, PCR of toxin genes, plasmid profile, ribotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The analysis of plasmid content showed that 33-96% of V. cholerae isolated from different provinces carry a large plasmid. PCR analysis of V. cholerae O1 showed that the genes encoding cholera toxin (ctx), toxin co-regulated pilus (tcp), accessory cholera enterotoxin (ace) and zonula occludens toxin (zot) were present in 55-97% of isolates in different provinces. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of BglI-digested DNA probed with five oligonucleotides revealed three different ribotype patterns in isolates of V. cholerae O1. The ribotype pattern B21 of V. cholerae O1 El Tor was found to be the predominant pattern in the isolates studied. V. cholerae non-O1, non-O139 isolates showed a single ribotype pattern. PFGE analysis also showed 10 different patterns amongst the isolates, 9 of which were in V. cholerae O1. Overall, the analysis of polymorphism of ribotypes and PFGE patterns of the isolates showed that the provinces in Iran were affected by a limited number of clones of V. cholerae O1 and non-O1, non-O139 strains.

“…The increase in the proportion of diarrhoea caused by S. aureus and β-lactamase-producing strains among children makes it mandatory that susceptibility testing should always be carried out before selection of antibiotics for use in treating infections. Several authors have confirmed that the rise in resistance by most clinical isolates of S. aureus to antibiotics represented a serious threat to health (Oyelese & Oyewo 1995;Olukoya et al, 1995;Adeleke and Odelola, 2000).…”

Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from children aged 5 years and below with sporadic diarrhoea were tested for their ability to produce beta-lactamase enzyme. Of the 95 isolates tested 79 (83.2%) were beta-lactamase-producing strains. The study confirms that majority of clinical isolates of S. aureus from diarrhoeic children acquire resistance to the beta-lactam antibiotics as a result of beta-lactamase activity. (Afr. J. Biomed. Res. 10: 95 -97,
