The antimicrobial activity of 15 antibiotics against 73 Vibrio cholerae 01 strains ogawa type, El Tor biotype was determined using the disc diffusion method. Most of the isolates (91.8%) were resistant to trimethoprim/ sulphamethoxazole, 82.2% to streptomycin, 61.6% to furazolidone, 57.5% to tetracycline, 54.8% to rifampicin, 39.7% to erythromycin, and 27.4% to ampicillin. Less than or equal to 3% were resistant to gentamicin, chloramphenicol, and neomycin. All were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, nalidixic acid, norfioxacin, and tobramycin. |
