Abstract

We evaluated the response of enterobacteria species obtained from peanut cake in our previous study to commonly used antibiotics in Nigeria. Consequently, the multidrug resistant (MDR) isolates were tested for presence and functionality of plasmids in MD resistance, and potential virulence using the human blood haemolysis test. All isolates exhibited high resistance (>80%) to amoxicillin, cefuroxime and nitrofurantoin while sensitivity to fluoroquinolones (FQs) was between 70% and 80%. Contrariwise, 67% of Klebsiella showed resistance against the FQs (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin and norfloxacin) and tetracycline. Salmonella isolates exhibited the highest significant (P<0>
