Abstract:
The sample was taken from the goat that was receiving treatment at the TVCC in Mannuthy, Thrissur, for an ear infection. The sample was collected from the otitis region by using a sterile cotton swab. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P aeruginosa) was isolated from the sample by streaking it over culture media. Using morphological, cultural, and biochemical methods, the pure colonies were identified. Using the disc diffusion method, the results from multiple antibiotics were found to be resistant. Aminoglycosides was the most powerful one since it is also show resistance. Polymyxin B, Quinolones, Cephalosporins, Sulfonamides, Penicillin and Tetracycline antibiotics groups also showed 100% resistance to this P. aeruginosa.
