Results indicated that all the four pathogens except E. coli and Pseudomonas found to be highly sensitive to ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, sparfloxacin, ofloxacin, and levofloxacin. However, Escherichia coli found to be resistant to ofloxacin and moderately sensitive to Levofloxacin and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found to be resistant to Sparfloxacin and moderately sensitive to norfloxacin and ofloxacin.
