“…These were however not determined in this work. Most of the isolates were highly susceptible to gentamicin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, pefloxacin and sparfloxacin, which are in agreement with previous reports (Olayinka et al, 2010). Antimicrobial resistant bacteria remain in high rate in the healthy members of the community (Kumar et al, 2013).…”

“…The multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) index gives an indirect suggestion of the probable source(s) of the organism. The MAR indices in this work were greater than 0.20, this indicates this pathogen might have been originated from an environment where antibiotics are often used as reported by Olayinka et al (2004).…”

“…The multiple antibiotics resistance index was determined for each of the selected bacterial isolate using a formula MAR = x/y, where x is the number of antibiotics to which test isolate displayed resistance and y is the total number of antibiotics to which the test organism has been evaluated for sensitivity (Olayinka et al, 2004;Tula et al, 2013). Table 1 shows the prevalence of the pathogen in the two hospitals.…”

“…These observations confirm the postulation that healthy members of the community are the highest reservoir of antimicrobial resistant bacteria 18,19 . This also shows that multidrug resistance is truly spreading rapidly among the microbial population and could be traced to indiscriminate use of antibiotics along with poor hygiene and infection control (risk factor for antibiotic resistance in bacteria) which are highly prevalent in Nigeria and other developing countries 20,21,22 . Generally the resistance pattern observed in this study is in conformity with previous observations that most isolates of S. aureus are resistant to a large number of commonly prescribed antibiotics 22 .…”
