Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Pathogenic Bacteria Isolated from Ram Sagar Talab and Surya Kund of Gaya Town (Bihar)

Jyoti Kumari, Dr. Archana Kumari

Abstract: Antibiotic resistance pattern of E.coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella sp. obtained from two perennial ponds of Gaya town were examined against five types of antibiotic drugs. Results obtained during present investigation showed that 89.81%, 85.19%, 76.85%, 72.22% and 38.19% of the total isolates of E.coli obtained from the water sample of Ram Sagar Talab showed resistance against Erythromycin, Ampicillin, Gentamycin, Tetracycline and Chloramphenicol respectively. 100%, 98.51%, 91.04%, 20.90% and 11.94% of total isolates of K. pneumoniae obtained from the water sample of this pond exhibited resistance against Ampicillin, Erythromycin, Tetracycline, Gentamycin and Chloramphenicol respectively. 90.91%, 81.82%, 51.52% and 33.33% of the total isolates of P. aeruginosa of this pond showed resistance against Ampicillin & Tetracycline, Erythnomycin, Gentamycin and Chloramphenicol respectively. Cent per cent isolates of Salmonella sp. obtained from this pond exhibited resistance against Ampicillin and Tetracycline. Out of 08 isolates of Salmonella sp. 87.50%, 25% and 12.50% exhibited resistance against Erythromycin, Gentamycin and Chloamphinical respectively. 85.71%, 80.95%, 76.19%, 28.57% and 23.81% of the total (21) of E. coli bacteria obtained from water sample of Surya Kund showed resistance against Erythromycin, Tetracycline, Gentamycin, Chloramphenical and Ampicillin respectively. Out of 20 isolates of P. aeruginosa obtained from this pond, 90%, 80%, 50% and 35% showed resistance against. Ampicillin & Tetracycline, Erythromyun, Gentamycin and Chloramphenical respectively. 100%, 87.50%, 75%, 37.50% and 12.50% of the total (08) isolates of K. pneumoniae obtained from the water sample of this pond showed resistance against Ampicillin, Erythromycin, Tertacycline, Gentamycin and Chloramphenicol respectively. A single isolate of Salmonella sp. was obtained from water sample of this pond which showed resistance against Ampicillin, Erythromycin, Gentamycin and Chloramphenicol as well as remained sensitive against Tetracycline.
