Residentification of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Isolated From the Handphones of Male and Female Users in Nilai Although handphones have many functions, the overuse of handphones can lead to transmission of bacteria including antibiotic resistant bacteria. Previous study had successfully isolated bacteria from handphones, some of the isolates were poorly identified. In addition, the susceptibility pattern of the isolate were not convincing. Thus, the objectives of this study were to re-isolate and re-identify the bacterial isolates obtained by previous study as well as to reconfirm the resistance patterns of the bacterial isolates and to compare the distribution of the antibiotic resistant bacteria between the handphones of male and female users in Nilai. The pure cultures of isolates were obtained using the dilution streak technique and subjected to gram staining and biochemical assays before proceeding to antibiotic susceptibility test using vancomycin, rifampicin, cipr...
