Plasmid curing of microbes and physicochemical analysis of water samples obtained from Ebira communities in six local governments in Ekiti South Senatorial District were analyzed. Antibiotic sensitivity and profile of bacterial isolates were analyzed using pour plating, disk diffusion method and gel electrophoresis techniques respectively while the plasmid were cured using acridine orange. The mean total bacterial count of the water samples collected from these six different local governments at different time ranged from 2.08 x 105 to 6.0 x 106 CFU/ml; the mean total coliform count ranged from 2.41 x 105 to 3.75 x 106 CFU/ml and the mean total Escherichia coli count (TEC) ranged from 1.53 x 105 to 3.45 x 105 CFU/ml. Total of 152 bacteria were recovered with E.coli having the highest distribution of 35% while Serratia marcensens had the least distribution of 0.7%. The highest antibiotic resistance of 100% was recorded against ceftazidine but only 17% of the isolates were resistant to gentamicin. About 56% of 34 selected MAR isolates carried plasmid(s) with high molecular weight ranging from 5.64Kbp to 23.13Kbp. Antibiotic resistance pattern and plasmids profile of selected MAR E.coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus prior to and after curing showed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa became susceptible to augmentin and Staphylococcus aureus also became susceptible to ceftriazole while E. coli still maintained the earlier resistant pattern. The plasmid profiling of these isolates after curing indicated the lost of plasmids in each of the isolates. Present study however implicated the incidence of MAR bacteria in the sources of water in Ekiti-South Senatorial district as a serious health challenge, and confirmed the potential of acridine orange for plasmid curing.

ABSTRACT A total of 44 samples of salmon, pangasius (shark catfish), shrimps, and oysters were tested for the presence of Escherichia coli, enterococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus, which are indicator organisms commonly used in programs to monitor antibiotic resistance. The isolated bacterial strains, confirmed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy, were tested against a panel of 29 antimicrobial agents to obtain MICs. Across the four sample types, Enterococcus faecalis (59%) was most common, followed by E. coli (55%), P. aeruginosa (27%), and S. aureus (9%). All bacterial species were resistant to some antibiotics. The highest rates of resistance were in E. faecalis to tetracycline (16%), in E. coli to ciprofloxacin (22%), and in S. aureus to penicillin (56%). Antibiotic resistance was found among all sample types, but salmon and oysters were less burdened than were shrimps and pangasius. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains were exclusively found in shrimps and pangasius: 17% of pangasius samples (MDR E. coli and S. aureus) and 64% of shrimps (MDR E. coli, E. faecalis, and S. aureus). Two of these MDR E. coli isolates from shrimps (one from an organic sample) were resistant to seven antimicrobial agents. Based on these findings, E. coli in pangasius, shrimps, and oysters, E. faecalis in pangasius, shrimps, and salmon, and P. aeruginosa in pangasius and shrimps are potential candidates for programs monitoring antimicrobial resistance. Enrichment methods for the detection of MDR bacteria of special public health concern, such as methicillin-resistant S. aureus and E. coli producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases and carbapenemases, should be implemented.

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance is becoming a problem in public health. Zoonotic food-borne bacteria is infectious agent that can be transferred from animal to human through the food-producing animal we consume. Nowadays, antibiotic used for human and animal is not only to cure infection but also to aim animal’s growth promotion. It is known as non therapeutic antimicrobial agent (NTA) leading to antibiotic resistance. The third generation cephalosporins, cefotaxime, and also cefoxitin are included as important antibiotic for human. This study aims to identify the presence of cefotaxime-resistant Escherichia coli and cefoxitin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from chicken meat of both traditional and modern market in Surabaya.Methods: This is descriptive post test only experimental research. We used 8 samples of chicken meat from 4 different market using purposive sampling technique. We cultured Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus from the chicken meat. Sensitivity test was done using Kirby-bauer disk-diffusion method.Results: All chicken meat sample bought from traditional market in Surabaya are contaminated by cefotaxime-sensitive Escherichia coli (n=4/4) while chicken meat sample bought from modern market are not contaminated by Escherichia coli (n=0/4). All chicken meat sample bought from traditional (n=4/4) are also contaminated by cefoxitin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus. Half of chicken meat sample bought from modern market (n=2/4) are contaminated by cefoxitin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, while the other half (n=2/4) are contaminated by cefoxitin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.Conclusion: Antibiotic resistance is found and all chicken meat samples have been highly contaminated with bacteria therefore food-processing should be done correctly.

ABSTRACT  Akway (Drimys piperita) is a woody, evergreen and aromatic plant that belongs to family winteraceae. This plant is used by Sougb tribe lived in Sururey village, District of Anggi, to enhance the vitality of body. The objectives of the research were to determine antimicrobial stability of akway bark extracts influenced by heating time of 100OC, levels of acidity (pH) and salt contents.. Antimicrobial assays were done by using agar well diffusion method against four species of bacteria, i.e.  Escherichia coli ATCC25922, Bacillus cereus ATCC10876, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923. The results showed that ethanolic extracts of akway bark only inhibited growth of B. cereus and S. aureus with minimum inhibitory concentration 0,99% and 0,89% . The levels of concentration and acidity of ethanol extracts  influenced the antimicrobial capacity of extracts.. Whereas heating time on 100OC during 25 minutes and salt contents  up to 5% of extract solution did not influence the antimicrobial stability of  akway bark extracts. Key words : akway, extracts, antimicrobe, pH, Heating, salt ABSTRAK Akway (Drimys piperita) adalah tumbuhan berkayu, aromatik dan hijau sepanjang tahun dan tergolong dalam suku winteraceae. Tumbuhan ini digunakan oleh Suku Sougb yang bermukim di desa Sururey Distrik Anggi, untuk mengobati malaria dan meningkatkan vitalitas tubuh. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan stabilitas antimikroba ekstrak kulit kayu akway pada waktu pemanasan ekstrak pada 100OC, tingkat keasaman (pH) dan kandungan garam. Pengujian antimikroba dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode difusi agar terhadap empat spesies bakteri yaitu Escherichia coli ATCC25922, Bacillus cereus ATCC10876, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak etanol kulit kayu akway hanya dapat menghambat bakteri Bacillus cereus dan Staphylococcus aureus dengan konsentrasi hambat minimum masing-masing adalah 0,99% dan 0,89%. Tingkat konsentrasi dan keasaman (pH) mempengaruhi kapasitas antimikroba ekstrak etanol kulit kayu akway. Sedangkan perlakuan pemanasan pada suhu 100OC dengan lama pemanasan sampai dengan 25 menit dan penambahan garam NaCl sampai konsentrasi 5%  tidak berpengaruh pada stabilitas antimikroba ekstrak etanol kulit kayu akway.
