Zone of inhibition recorded by bacteria isolated from tiger nuts bought from different locations. (a) Staphylococcus spp (b) Enterobacter cloacae (c) Klebsiella oxytoca (d) Proteus vulgaris (e) Enterobacter spp. The antibiotics used, and the value of diameter measurement that were considered sensitive are: AS- ampicillin ≥15, BA- cotrimoxazole ≥16, CH- chloramphenicol ≥18, CP- ciprofloxacin ≥21, CI-ceftizoxime ≥ 25, GM-gentamicin ≥ 15, TZP- piperacillin ≥21, AK-amikacin ≥ 17, LE-levofloxacin ≥ 17, OF-ofloxacin ≥ 16, TE-tetracycline ≥ 15, CF- cefotaxime ≥26. Numbers on each bar indicate the exact measurement of the inhibition zone in mm.
