Antibiotic susceptibility of selected pathogenic bacteria isolated from raw meat sample obtained from Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu

Abstract

This study was carried out on 75 samples of raw meats collected from chidambarm.The bacteria cultured from the samples were Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Bacillus sp, Proteus mirabilis, Acinotobacter sp, Aeromonas sp. Nine antibiotics were used to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of selected meat borne pathogens.. Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Bacillus sp, Aeromonas sp and proteus mirabilis were found to be sensitive to most of the antibiotics used (Ciprofloxacin tetracycline, Erythromycin and Gentamycin). Most of the antibiotics were resistance to Acinotobacter sp.The study illustrates the presence of pathogenic bacteria in the meat around Chidambaram probably due to the poor sanitary conditions during processing. It also shows the insensitivity of the bacteria to antibiotics and this may be of potential public health importance.
