Occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in waste site of Ede south west Nigeria Institute of Ecology and Environmental Studies, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria (Received: June 19, 2007; Revised received: November 30, 2007; Accepted: December 05, 2007) Abstract: Analysis of antibiotic resistant bacteria from composted waste site soil samples for two seasons were done, using prepareddiagnostic test agar and direct sensitivity tests. All major isolated bacteria were subjected to various antibiotics. Concurrent positive andnegative tests were simultaneously studied. Results show relatively high resistant and sensitive bacteria in both seasons. In wet seasons,the Bacillus cereus concentrations are considerably reduced than in the dry. In the dry seasons, Bacillus cereus was sensitive toErythromycin (ERY) and Tetracycline (TET) and slightly resistant to Ampicillin (AMP), Chloramphenicol (CHL), Cloxacillin (CXC) andwater (CNT). In the wet season, identified Pseudomonas aeruginosa was moderately resistant to Streptomycin (STR) and Tetracycline andremained resistant to Ampicillin, Cotrimoxazole (COT), Nitrofurantion (NIT) and water (CNT). The implications for human health arediscussed.

As a result children solid wastes generated (NEST, 1991) as a medium town with and adults get infected via air borne bacteria, food, dermal contact same characteristics as other medium cities in Nigeria. The geography and topography are described in Fig. 1. Compostedmunicipal soil, samples were collected in dry (Nov. 2004 - Feb.

Overall Antibiotics sensitivity assay: The incubation assay was used to prevalence and severity of exposure to mutagens may represent a measure antibiotic sensitivity of the isolated organisms.

The used antibiotics 100µl of the isolated bacterial suspension (1x108) cells was placed syringes from various origins (agricultural, hospitals/clinics and in glass reaction tube.

The health implication of bacterial (COT) and Nitrofurantion (NIT) at recommended concentrations of sensitivity in waste sites is for sole purpose of hygienic assessment of 100 µl, 250 µl, 50 µl, 100 µl, 250 µl, 100 µl, 250 µl, 250 µl and 400 µl the local environment from a socio-demographic perspective.

For direct Therefore the primary objective of the present study was to assess sensitivity tests, the total volume of the reaction tube was brought up the occurrence of antibiotic resistance bacteria in waste site located to 600 µl with potassium phosphate buffer. The required numbers of wells were filled up with appropriate previously prepared antibacterial Journal of Environmental Biology March, 2009 Table - 1: Mean and standard deviation of antibiotic patterns of isolated and type culture of heterotrophic bacteria (HTB) in dry season All experiments were in triplicate.

NCIB - National collection of industrial bacteria, R - Resistant, S - Sensitive, SR - Slightly resistant solution. Concurrent positive controls consisted of potassium to Erythromycin (ERY), moderately resistant to Streptomycin (STR) phosphate buffer in nutrient agar medium. While concurrent negative and resistant to Ampicilin (AMP), Chloramphenicol (CHL), test consisted of dimehyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as solvent or isolates Cloxacillin (CXC) and water (CNT), while its typed culture NCIB mixed with the solvent in a range of microlitre amounts. All broth 4349 was sensitive Erythromycin (ERY), moderately resistant to culture of each test organism was done in triplicate.

Klebsiella penumoniae was sensitive to Ampicillin, Tetracyclin strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIB 950, Bacillus cereus NCIB and Nitrofurantoin, moderately resistant to Streptomycin and resistant 6349, and Klebsiella pneumoniae NCIB 418. These components to Cotrimoxazole and water. The type culture NCIB 418 was moderately were incubated at 37oC for 48 hr. The relative susceptibility of test resistant to Ampicillin, Streptomycin, sensitive to Tetracyclin and organism was recorded. The means and their SD in the results were Nitrofurantoin and resistant to Cotrimoxazole and water (Table1).

The results indicate both antibiotic sensitive and resistant bacteria. Generally these bacteria are normally found below infection patterns of isolated and type culture of heterotrophic bacteria in levels in the environment, but when their concentration increases varying seasons. Besides, the sensitivity ranking and significant they can infect innocent persons working in nearby areas. These interspecies were found in the type culture.
