Abstract

The antibiotic resistance and antibacterial activity of four strains isolated from soils in Brazzaville were evaluated. These four strains registered in GenBank have successively the following accession numbers: Pantoea dispersa MLTBY6 (MT646430.1); Pseudomonas aeruginosa MLTBM2 (MT646431.1); Bacillus subtilis MLTBC5 (MT674681.1) and Pseudomonas monteilii MLTBC10 (MT674682.1). Our strains exhibited resistance according to the following profile: all four strains exhibited resistance to Fosfomicyne, two strains including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas monteilii exhibited resistance to Ceftazidime, Ticarcillin + Clavulanic acid and Rifampicin while one strain in particular Pantoea dispersa to exhibit resistance to Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid and to Ceftriaxone. All strains (Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas monteilii and Pantoea dispersa) exhibited antibacterial activity against Salmonella, three strains including Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pantoea dispersa exhibited antibacterial activity against -vis of Escherichia coli, three strains (Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas monteilii and Pantoea dispersa) exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and two strains (Bacillus subtilis and Pantoea dispersa) exhibited antibacterial activity against -to Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
