In the present work, twelve bacilli were isolated from four different regions of @entity1 skin from Bela population of Nagpur district, India. The isolated bacilli were identified by their morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics. Seven isolates were Gram negative rods, out of which five were belong to genus Pseudomonas. Three among the five Gram positive isolates were identified as Dermabactor and the remaining two Bacillus. Their antimicrobial susceptibility profile was determined by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. The isolates showed resistance to several currently used broad-spectrum antibiotics. The Dermabactor genus was resistant to @entity2176 , although it was earlier reported to be susceptible. Imipenem was found to be the most effective antibiotic for Pseudomonas while @entity802 , @entity869 and @entity803 were ineffective. Isolates of Bacillus displayed resistance to the extended spectrum antibiotics @entity8509 and @entity5505 . @entity2892 , @entity7911 and @entity4967 were found to be the most effective antibiotics as all the investigated isolates were susceptible to them. Antibiotic resistance may be due to the overuse or misuse of antibiotics during the treatment, or following constant exposure to antibiotic-containing cosmetic formulations.
