Antimicrobial Resistance in Escherichia coli Isolates Collected from Poultry Meat: An Epidemiological Surveillance Study from Guwahati City

Antimicrobial Resistance in Escherichia coli Isolates Collected from Poultry Meat: An... Zoonotic origin of antibiotic resistant coliform bacteria has become a great threat to human health. Poultry meat is one of the most common sources of protein that has become the source of many antibiotic resistant bacteria. This investigation aimed to identify the prevalence of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli strains in poultry meat that are being sold in different market places of Guwahati city. Single disc diffusion method was used to screen 98 E. coli isolates for their susceptibility against 11 different antimicrobial agents, namely, ampicillin, imipenem, cefotaxime, cefpodoxime, ceftazidime, cefoxitin, chloramphenicol, amikacin, streptomycin, nalidixic acid and tetracycline. Double disk diffusion test with cefotaxime and ceftazidime (third generation cephalosporin agents) was done to identify ESBL strains among them. All isolates were resistant to a minimum of 2 antimicrobial agents. Eighty two percent were resistant to broad spectrum antibiotics, such as, tetracycline, 80% to nalidixic acid, 76% to ampicillin. Prevalence of multiple antibiotic resistant or multi-drug resistant and ESBL positive isolates was 86% and 33%, respectively. This study has clearly revelled the risk factor associated with consumption or handling of marketed poultry products and also highlighted the matter of excessive administration of antibiotics in poultry farming practice. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Proceedings of the Zoological Society Springer Journals

Abstract

Zoonotic origin of antibiotic resistant coliform bacteria has become a great threat to human health. Poultry meat is one of the most common sources of protein that has become the source of many antibiotic resistant bacteria. This investigation aimed to identify the prevalence of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli strains in poultry meat that are being sold in different market places of Guwahati city. Single disc diffusion method was used to screen 98 E. coli isolates for their susceptibility against 11 different antimicrobial agents, namely, ampicillin, imipenem, cefotaxime, cefpodoxime, ceftazidime, cefoxitin, chloramphenicol, amikacin, streptomycin, nalidixic acid and tetracycline. Double disk diffusion test with cefotaxime and ceftazidime (third generation cephalosporin agents) was done to identify ESBL strains among them. All isolates were resistant to a minimum of 2 antimicrobial agents. Eighty two percent were resistant to broad spectrum antibiotics, such as, tetracycline, 80% to nalidixic acid, 76% to ampicillin. Prevalence of multiple antibiotic resistant or multi-drug resistant and ESBL positive isolates was 86% and 33%, respectively. This study has clearly revelled the risk factor associated with consumption or handling of marketed poultry products and also highlighted the matter of excessive administration of antibiotics in poultry farming practice.
