Biochemical characterization and antibiotic resistance
of some medically important bacterial isolates

Abstract

Pathogens are treated with antibiotics from years, bacterial pathogens are either resistant or sensitive to antibiotics. Regular administration of antibiotic to pathogen produces drug resistance strains. Most of the bacterial pathogen already acquires multi-drug resistance characteristics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is resistance to almost all antibiotics for example; tetracycline,kanamycin, chloramphenicol , vancomycin etc..the MIC study of these antibiotics shows the concentration at which these pathogens can be inhibited. For pseudomonas, vancomycin MIC is 32 μg/ml, penicillin is 8 μg/ml, chloramphenicol 16 μg/ml. so also for proteus mirabilis vancomycin 16 μg/ml penicillin 4 μg/ml
