Treating Pasteurella multocida

CSEF · 2002 Pharmacology/ Toxicology

Neil Gehlawat, Sean Matthews, Ryan Newbrough · Stockdale High School, Bakersfield

Overview

Objectives/Goals To determine which antibiotic treats the disease pasteurella multocida most effectively. Methods/Materials Antibiotic disks- oxacillin, clindamycin, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, penicillin, augmentin, and septra. Other materials used were sterile swabs, saline solution, sheep blood agar plates, and an incubator. Results Top three antibiotics that worked best were ciprofloxacin(13.2mm kill zone), Augmentin and Penicillin(both 13mm kill zone), and Clindamycin and Penicillin did not work at all. Conclusions/Discussion Augmentin was the best antibiotic since it is cheaper than ciprofloxacin and it also can be used on people of all ages, unlike ciprofloxacin, which can cause detrimental effects to children under the ages of 18.

Summary statement

We are determining which antibiotic treats pasteurella multocida best.
