Resistance of P-solubilizing Acetobacter diazotrophicus to antibiotics

摘要

A local isolate (Nagpur) of Acetobacter diazotrophicus having the capacity to solubilize insoluble phosphate in Pikovskaya's medium and Sperber's medium was tested for its response to different antibiotics under in vitro condition. The isolate was found to be resistant to ampicillin, erythromycin and roxithromycin even at higher concentrations and less sensitive to penicillin and tetracyclin. The sensitivity of the bacterium was observed more with antibiotics like ciprofoxacine, doxicycline, rifampicin and chloramphenicol. [References: 12]
