In two branches of poultry culture; small local ones and big industrial ones, tetracycline is a common antibiotic, which has been taken as a standard antibiotic in this study. 20 isolates were taken from big poultry farms like Agha Ltd and Denm Poultry. 10 isolates were taken from small local poultry farms like Rahat Poultry and Star Poultry. After collection of samples, total numbers of bacteria with and without tetracycline were counted. In both cases numerous bacterial growths were observed. The normal dose of tetracycline is 30 μg/ml which failed extremely to regulate high bacterial growth. Two dilutions (10-3 and 10-4) of sample 1, 2, 3 and 4 were taken and allowed to grow at different concentrations of tetracycline like 30,60 and 100 μg/ml, where bacterial growth was observed. High concentration of antibiotics for example, above 100 μg/ml may be harmful to humans and an.. View More»
