Based on assay, all isolates regardless of the origin were found resistant to at Ieast one antibiotic tested. Ninety nine percent of which showed multiple resistance, being resistant to lour or more antibiotics.
Transfer of resistance factor was tested using a multiple drug resistant isolate 1ss Ia. Out of four antibiotic resistance, only polymyxin resistance was not transferred. chloramphenicol, streptomycin, and tetracycline resistance were transferred to recipient Escherichia coli. More trans conjugants were observed after 48 hours of incubation period.
