ABSTRACT
Antibiotic sensitivity testing was carried out invitro on fifteen pure culture strains of
Escherichia coli labeled EC1 – EC15 isolated from male midstream urine samples obtained from the
Medical Microbiology department of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria.
Eleven (73.
3%) of the strains resisted 8(67.
7%) of antibiotics used.
EC8 strain was randomly selected for
sensitivity enhancement by treatment with non-toxic laboratory concentrations of 0.
25-1.
05ug/ml
homodium bromide and incubation done at 37o
