Abstract:
Antimicrobial resistance is increasing at an alarming rate and becoming major threat to human as well as animals. The present study aimed to isolation and proteomic based identification of Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolated from clinical mastitic milk samples and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern towards commonly used antimicrobial agents in mastitis. A total of 28 mastitic milk samples from cattle were evaluated for incidence of E. coli and antibiogram. Out of 28 milk samples, 10 (35.71%) were identified as E. coli. All the 10 isolates of E. coli were tested for in vitro sensitivity towards 23 antibacterial drugs. The highest resistance (i.e., 100%) was attributed towards oxacillin, vancomycin, tetracycline, clindamycin, erythromycin, rifampicin, and co-trimoxazole. It was concluded that microbiological and antibiogram studies are necessary for treatment and control of the disease.
