Distribution and antibiogram of Vibrio species from hospital wastewater in Southwest, Nigeria.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

the continuous generation of wastewater and its release into the environment with little or no treatment remains a threat to the environment and public health. We examined the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility profiles of Vibrio species isolated from untreated wastewater samples from Ondo State Specialist Hospital Okitipupa, Nigeria, as part of the global efforts to provide information for containing the spread of resistant infections.

Methods

twelve hospital wastewater samples were collected aseptically and transported to the laboratory for analysis. The samples were processed on thiosulphate citrate bile salt sucrose agar and colonies typical of Vibrio species were selected for further identification. All isolates were confirmed by polymerase chain reac
