المستخلص: An investigation was conducted to identify the bacterial isolates and to study the antibiotic resistance patterns of Libyan currency circulating in Zliten area. The collected samples from different places were identified by different biochemical procedures, and API 20E test. Antibiotic susceptibility test of bacterial isolates was also done by disc diffusion method. A total of 459 isolated bacteria, were identified as: Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Pseudomonas spp., S. aureus, Klebsiella spp, α-haemolytic Streptococcus, and the lowest isolated bacteria were Proteus spp., Salmonella spp. and β- haemolytic Streptococcus. From tested samples, gram positive bacteria have appear resistances to Amoxicillin, Linezolid, Clindamycin and Erythromycin by (100%), whereas the gram negative isolated bacteria have showed resistances to the Linezolid and Clindamycin by (100%). The results indicated that the Libyan paper currency were contaminated with multi bacterial spp. This study, thus, provides valuable information for making strategy decisions aimed at reducing bacterial contamination of circulation notes, where currency notes must be handled with caution, and electronic or credit banking were highly recommended, with indiscriminate use of antibiotics.
