ABSTRACT

Colibacillosis is considered important in the poultry industry because it generates economic losses due to the disturbance of growth, the decline in production, an increase number of culled chicken, and reduced quality of carcasses and eggs. It is caused by the Avian Pathogenic E. coli (APEC). To overcome this, antibiotics have been widely used to eliminate E. coli infection in poultry farms in recent years. Treatment with antibiotics has been considered as a vital regimen to control E. coli infection at the farm level for many years. However, high frequency of antibiotic resistance of E. coli isolates from chicken has become the center of attention due to public health importance. The aim of the present study is to determine antimicrobial susceptibility among a collection of avian pathogenic E. coli strains isolated from chicken. Multidrug resistant profiles against 10 different antibiotics of 24 E. coli isolates were determined by using disk diffusion method according to Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI). Antibiogram revealed that 81.6% of the E. coli isolates showed multidrug resistant profiles to different antibiotics. Most of the E.coli isolates were highly resistant to cefuroxime (91.7%), followed with amoxiciline (87.5%), imipenem and cefotaxime (79.1%), cefexime (58.3%), ceftriaxone and nalidixic acid (25%). Out of 24 isolates tested, 5.9% were resistant to six antibiotics. These findings also demonstrated that most of the isolates were susceptible to antibiotics commonly used for E.coli infections treatment in poultry with lowest resistant score against ofloxacin (12.5%) and gentamycin (12.5%). Moderate resistant profiles were observed towards nalidixic acid and ceftriaxone (25%). High percentage of multidrug resistance was found among the E. coli isolated from chicken as an indicator to more serious problems in animal health. Therefore, continuous surveillance of antibiotic resistance profiles in chicken and other food animals is crucial to ensure food chain safety.
