dc.description.abstract |
In the recent years, there has been a significant increase in antibiotic resistance among food borne bacteria. In this study, antibiotic resistant strains were isolated from different meat and milk samples. The use of antibiotics in dairy industry is a major cause of increasing antibiotic resistance in bacterial strains. Antibiotic resistant strains were selected based on their resistance to Ampicillin. The resistance pattern of these selected strains was checked by disc diffusion method using five antibiotics from different antibiotic groups (Cefixime, Tobramycin, Nitrofurantoin, Doxycycline and Imipenem). The selected strains showed significant antibiotic resistance. The major threat associated with this problem is that resistance in foodborne bacteria can lead to the transfer of resistance genes to humans and pathogenic bacteria |
