Abstract

The present study was aimed at understanding the effect of ultra violetradiations against bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. These bacteria were isolated in the laboratory and subsequently sub cultured on NAM media Bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiealla pneumoniae were exposed to ultra violet radiations for 5 hours and the effect of ultra violet radiation on bacteria was studied. It was found that ultra violet. – radiated recombinant bacteria when tested with Cefixime (200mg), Oflaxacin (200mg), Ornidazole (200mg), Amoxicillin (200mg), Moxifloxacina (200mg), Ciprofloxacin (200mg). for drug sensitivity showed different levels of resistance against different antibiotic used.
