“…The high performance of some of these antibiotics (Gentamicin, Ciprofloxacin and Chloramphenicol) could also be due to their molecular sizes a factor which enhances their solubility in diluents thus promoting their penetration power through cell wall into the cytoplasm of the target microorganism. This finding is in line with Mailard (2002) and Poole (2002) who respectively opined that the high efficacy of antibiotics may be traced to their molecular sizes. The present study revealed a high resistance to tetracycline (85.71%), a commonly used antibiotic by the S. aureus isolates.…”

“…Gram negative bacteria are generally less sensitive to biocides than Gram positive bacteria because of their outer membrane or envelope. The outer cell layer of Gram negative bacteria consists of an outer membrane, a thin layer of peptidoglycan and a periplasmic space and an inner membrane [58]. One of the effects of the outer envelope is to form an impermeable barrier that protects the microorganism from toxic molecules such as biocides and antibiotics.…”

“…accompanied by bacteriostatic; and (4) complete loss of membrane function follows by the precipitation of intracellular constituents and bactericidal effect [7][8][9][10][11][14][15][16][17]. One and ditto material at different concentration are known to be either a poison or a medicine.…”
