Abstract :
This study was carried out to isolate and
determine the antibiogram of Staphylococcus species
from Cow droppings in Ogun state. A total of sixty
droppings were collected from a livestock farm in Ogere,
Ogun state, and thirty-five Staphylococcus species were
isolated from the samples collected. Antibiotic
susceptibility testing using the disc diffusion method was
done using antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin, Imipenem,
Tazobactam, and Amoxicillin and results were
interpreted as described by the Clinical Laboratory
Standards Institute (CLSI, 2021).
The Isolated Staphylococcus species were 100%
sensitive to Imipenem while the isolates were 89%
resistant to Amoxicillin, 20% resistant to Tazobactam,
and 3% resistant to Ciprofloxacin. Cow droppings can
pose a public health risk and cause contamination to the
environment and also to man because organisms isolated
can become pathogenic organisms and so therefore
improved farm hygiene and also the use of effective
antibiotics to help reduce mortality associated with
infectious diseases caused by pathogenic Staphylococci
species frow the cow droppings should be practiced.
