ANTIBACTERIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY OF PATHOGENIC BACTERIAL ISOLATED FROM SELECTED AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES WITHIN KADUNA METROPOLIS

摘要

Pathogenic bacteria such as E.coli;S.dysenteriae;S.typhimurium;P.aeruginosa;K.pneumoniae and S.aureus isolated from the Automated Teller Machines(ATMs)located in NNPC/KRPC(Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation/Kaduna Refinery and Petrochemicals Company);ABW(Ahmadu Bello Way);AAW(Ali Akilu Way);SCS(Shopping Complex around Station);KR/ST(Kachia Road/Sabon Tasha);KR(Kano Road Axis)and NAW(Nnamdi Azikiwe Way)within Kaduna Metropolis were subjected to antibacterial susceptibility test using known antibiotics.The result obtained showed that 30(100%)of the isolated pathogenic bacteria were sensitive to Ciprofloxacin.
