ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVITY TESTING ON EGGS FROM LAYERS TREATED WITH ANTIBIOTIC
A RESEARCH PROJECT
ABSTRACT
Antibiotic sensitivity testing is the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics, it is carried out to determine which antibiotic will be most successful in treating a bacterial infections. The total mean colony count of the bacterial isolates in the two set of egg sample carried out showed the mean total bacterial count as 0.33x102 – 3.6 x 102 cfu/ml. While the antibiotics sensitivity testing of bacterial isolate isolated from two set of egg sample on four types of antibiotics showed the inhibition zone as follows Norfloxacin (≤ 13mm - ≥ 18mm) Gentamycin (≤ 17mm - ≥ 18mm); Rifampin (≤ 13mm - ≥ 18mm); Levofloxacin (≤ 18mm - ≥ 19mm).
