Studies On Beta-Lactamase Production By Antibiotic Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Isolated From Poultry Birds In Michael Okpara University Of Agriculture, Umudike
ABSTRACT
The inappropriate use of antibiotic on poultry birds has made Staphylococcus aureus resistant to antibiotic which has become a problem in the medical sector. This study was aimed at evaluating the beta-lactamase production potentials of S. aureus isolates associated with various poultry birds. Swabs from the different birds studied (quail, pullet, Local birds, turkey and guinea fowl) were inoculated into Mannitol salt agar plate. A total of Eighty-two (82) S. aureus was recovered from a total of 100 birds sampled. A greater percentage of the S. aureus was obtained from turkey (100%) and guinea fowl (85%) respectively. The results of the antibiotic susceptibility profile revealed that the most effective antibiotic against the isolates was Oflaxacin with 100% susceptibility rate follow closely by gentamycin, recording 80% susceptibility. High level of resistance to Augmentin, Ceftazidime, Cloxacillin, Cefuroxime and Cefotaxime was recorded amongst the S. aureus isolates of the turkey S aureus isolates recovered from the birds, 57 (72.15%) were found positive to beta-lactamase production while 25 (31.64%) were negative to beta-lactamase production. The findings of this study therefore calls for proper caution to prevent transmission of antibiotic resistant S. aureus from poultry to humans which could further add to the already elevated antibiotic resistance problem.
