Abstract
100 diarrhoeal samples were collected from children and speculated for Aeromonas hydrophila. This bacterium isolated from 7 samples only (7%). The local isolates were resist to antibiotics: Ampicillin, Carbenicillin, Chloramphenicol, Tetracyclin, Lincocin and Nalidixic acid. Curing the local isolates of their plasmid was performed by using acridine orange. Curing experiment indicated that the local isolates lost their resistance to Ampicillin, Carbenicillin, Chloromphenicol and Tetrac yclin and this result revealed that the resistance of these antibiotics was associated with plasmid content.
