The aim of this study is to determine the antimicrobial resistance profile patterns to 15 antibiotics and heavy metals (Zn+2, Cu+2 and Cd+2) by Pantoeaagglomerans bacteria. The (MIC) of the heavy metals was varied from 200 µg /mL to 2200 µg/mL. The results showed that the bacteria were resistant to Zn+2, Cu+2 and Cd+2, considering the MIC values compared with the strain Escherichia coli K-12 used as control. P. agglomeransshowed an antibiotic profile of resistance to Cefepime, Cefotaxime, Cefpodoxime, Clindamycin, and Amikacin, and sensitivity to Penicillin, and other antibiotics, thus suggesting that genetically-determined systems for resistance to toxic heavy metals was observed. |
