Antimicrobial
resistance is majorly an issue of public health concern. The aim of this study
is to isolate and identify Escherichia coli from samples
of stool and urine obtained from the clinical settings at Obafemi Awolowo
University Teaching Hospital Complex, Ile-Ife, and to determine their
antibiotics susceptibility patterns.
Nineteen (19) of
stools and 22 of urine samples were analysed using standard microbiological and
biochemical techniques and 11 pure isolates were obtained comprised of 5
(12,2%) isolates from urine and 6 (14,6%) isolates from stool.
Antibiotics
susceptibility studies were conducted using Kirby and Bauer disc diffusion
method, and the results were determined using the Clinical and Laboratory
Standards Institute (CLSI) guides.
