MICROBIOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS OF ULTRA-DRUG RESISTANT ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII ISOLATED FROM HIGHLY INFECTION-PRONE AREAS.

Abstract (2. Language): 
Soil samples from highly infection-prone areas like patient wards in city hospitals, river side's and marine coastal areas were taken and pre-treated in presence of various antibiotics at high concentrations, ensuring the high resistivity and survival of only multi drug resistant microbes into the sample. Sample was serially diluted and inoculated over sterile Petri dish containing sterile solid culture media. The most prevalent microbes were sub cultured up to pure culture and were identified as Acinetobacter baumannii as described by Mishra et. al. (2011) in their earlier reports. Various microbiological examinations such as growth rate, media optimization and effect of different elicitors were studied for this microorganism.
