Background: The transplantation of human amniotic membrane (HAM) is a significant accomplishment in the fields of cosmetic surgery, ocular surgery, epidermis, abdominal and vaginal reconstruction, and cosmetic surgery, as it has the potential to save thousands of lives annually. Nevertheless, the risk of infectious disease transmission using amniotic membrane allografts is a significant concern, as microorganisms can be introduced into the grafts during tissue procurement. Objectives: This study aimed at the genotypic characterization of the multidrug-resistant (MDR) membrane-associated bacteria and determining the isolates' radiation sensitivity pattern. Methods: A total of 163 bacteria retrieved from 10 amnion samples (5 from vaginal and 5 from cesarean) were subjected to biochemical and genotypic characterization. Antimicrobial and radiation sensitivity patterns of the isolates from different genotypes were determined after exposure to 60Co Gamma irradiation. Findings: Cultured bacteria were distinguished into diverse genera belonging to Enterobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., Stenotrophomonas spp., Bacillus spp., and Staphylococcus spp. as detected by ARDRA (Amplified Ribosomal RNA Restriction Analysis) followed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Isolates showed highest resistance against Cefixime (100%) followed by Ampicillin (77.5%), Ceftriaxone (72.5%), Amoxicillin (70%), Cefuroxime (67.5%), Colistin (65%), Vancomycin (52.5%), Streptomycin 40%), Ciprofloxacin (32.5%), Gentamici...
