Abstract
The broth dilution method has been regarded as a good alternative test for detection of susceptibilities to antimicrobial agents. In this study, the antimicrobial activity of ticarcillin-clavulonic acid (TIM) was investigated by the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) method on strains of Aeromonas, Citrobacter, Hafnia, Morganella, Proteus, Pseudomonas and gram negative bacteria isolated from raw milk. The isolate collection included 91 gram negative strains. Fifty-one (56.04%) isolates were found sensitive (MIC < or = 8 microg/ml), 12 (13.19%) isolates were found intermediately sensitive (MIC 16-32 microg/ml), and 28 (30.77%) isolates were found resistant (MIC > or = 64 microg/ml) to TIM.
