Online published on 27 November, 2019. Abstract This study discovers the opportunity of combining the clinical microbiology laboratories detection system with the VITEK 2 system to achieve rapid microbial identification and susceptibility testing of Pantoea spp. Susceptibility test results were compared for 3, 925 organism antibiotic combinations. The overall rate of categorical agreement of direct and conventional antimicrobial susceptibility testing was 92% with less than 3% very major and major errors combined. The mean turnaround time for identification and susceptibility testing was 7.5 hours (SD 3.0 hours) compared to a mean of 32.3 hours (SD 14.7 hours) for the conventional method. The present study concentrate on the antibacterial activity of Iron nanoparticle synthesized using Beta vulgaris extracts using a different concentrations (1 mg/ml, 2 mg/ml, 3 mg/ml, 4 mg/ml, against P ntoea spp.) and it was found that the highest concentration of Beta vulgaris iron nanoparticle gave the highest inhibition zone compare with the other samples.
