| dc.description.abstract | Enterococcus sp. from the family of Enterococcaceae, is a gram positive cocci formerly known as a group D streptococci. It can be found on the intestinal tract of human, animals and also in soil. Whereas, Escherichia coli is a rod shaped, gram negative bacteria under the family Enterobacteriaceae. They are facultative anaerobic that does not require oxygen, but grows better in the presence of oxygen. This study was conducted to determine the antimicrobial resistance profile of Enterococcus sp. and E. coli. from soil samples in selected carabao farms. Different cultures media such as Bile Esculin Agar, MacConkey Agarand Eosin Methylene Blue Agar were utilized for the isolation of bacteria and VITEK. 2 System was used for the identification and determination of antimicrobial resistance profile. The results revealed that Enterococcus foercium, Enterococcus durans and Enterococcus hirae isolated in soil samples were sensitive to 13 antibiotics, resistant in three antibiotics and some are intermediate to Erythromycin and Nitrofurantoin. Whereas, all E. coli isolates were sensitive towards 37 different antimicrobial agents used and have a low percentage of resistance to antibiotics. | |
