Abstract

The study was carried out to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Vibrio species
isolated from diarrhoeic stool of patients attending Umaru Sanda General Hospital, Bida Niger
State, Nigeria between February and March 2018. A total of one hundred and twenty (120) samples
were collected from diarrhoeic patients. The diarrhoeic stool samples were analyzed using
Thiosulphate citrate bile salt sucrose (TCBS) agar and Muellar-Hinton agar. The isolates were
Gram-stained, identified and characterized using biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibility test
was conducted using the disc diffusion method. The diarrhoeagenic Vibrio species isolated from
120 diarrhoeic stool samples included Vibrio cholerae 16 (59.26%), Vibrio parahaemolyticus 08
(29.63%) and Vibrio vulnificus 03 (11.11%). All the isolates were susceptible to Gentamycin and
Ofloxacin but highly resistant to Amoxyclav, Cotrimaxole and Neticillin. The present study
revealed that Gentamycin and Ofloxacin could be used as drugs of choice for empirical treatment
of diseases associated with Vibrio infection, such as cholera. The bacteria could be called as
Amoxyclav-Cotrimaxole-Neticillin resistance Vibrio.
