The Effect Of The Concurrent Use Of Marbofloxacin And Jojoba Oil In Quails

The present study aimed to investigate the possible interaction betweenbr>m:1rbot1oxacin (given lM as 10mg/kg b.wt. for 5 successive days) and jojoba oil given as 2.5% of ration for 6 weeks starting from one day old) in pathogenic E.coli 078 experimentallI. In vitro antibacterial activity:a. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of marbofloxacin: MIC of marbofloxacin against pathogenic E.coli 078 serotype of avian origin, was 0.0048J.!g/ml. indicating a low MIC value and high susceptibility of E. coli to marbofloxacin.b. Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of marbofloxacin:MBC of marbofloxacin against pathogenic E.coli 078 serotype of avian origin was 0.039Ilg/ml; sex-fold higher than the MIC. c. Sensitivity of pathogenic E.coli 078 of avian origin to jojoba oil and marbofloxacin compared with other antimicrobia\s (Disc Dif
