Isolation and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of E. Coli

In this work, we isolate Escherichia coli from chicken in Nanded. Isolated Escherichia coli tested for antimicrobial susceptibility. In the planned investigation selected food sample like chicken were tested for isolation of E. Coli. Isolated E. coli strains were checked for the occurrence of antibiotic resistant genes by Kirby- Bauer disc diffusion method using Mueller – Hinton agar, which is fast, appropriate and accurate .Isolation of E.coli from chicken confirm on EMB agar and biochemical test. Twenty antibiotics were screened for resistance out of that nine antibiotic show positive result.
