Abstract

Food poisoning is a common, yet distressing and sometimes life-threatening problem for millions of people all over the world. More than 250 different diseases can cause food poisoning. Gram's staining test on these colonies to detect the bacterial type. This step showed that all bacterial samples were gram positive bacteria and confirmed that high degree of similarity between the aerobic and faculatitative aerobic samples in the shape .Six different antibiotics were used to study the resistance of the isolated bacteria against these antibiotics. Different concentrations were used in the culture media starting with 0.005 mg/ml. The MIC was according to the antibiotic activity against the examinated bacteria. The lowest minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) of tetracycline (0.005 mg/ml).then , ampicillin and kanamycin (0.025 mg/ml), then neomycin and spectinomycin (0.08 mg/ml) the highest MIC was in case of chloromphenicol (0.125 mg/ml). This result was confirmed that different degree of antibiotic resistance affecting on the bacterial growth, bacteria have the highest resistance to chloromphenicol and moderate resistance to ampicillin , kanamycin, neomycin and spectinomycin while have the lowest resistance to tetracycline. INTRODUCTION The occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in food
