- Abstract
Antimicrobial use, both in humans for therapeutic purposes and in animals for treatment and control of infections and for growth promotion can select resistant genes and lead to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains. Antibiotic-resistant strains of chicken intestinal system can spread to farmers by close contact with animals, direct contact with animals' tissues during slaughtering, or by ingestion of contaminated meats and meat products. The aim of this study was to determine antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of E.coli, klebsiella and enterococcus species isolated from intestinal flora of chickens. Three months old 80 chickens were included in the study. The specimens obtained from chickens' caecum were inoculated on to 5% sheep blood agar, Eosine Methylen Blue agar and enterococcal agar. The antibiotic susceptibility tests of E.coli, klebsiella and enterococcus species were performed according to CLSI criteria. None of the 80 E.coli and klebsiella species isolated from chicken intestinal system showed extanded spectrum beta lactamase activity. Antimicrobial susceptibility rates of these isolates to some antimicrobials are given on table 1. Penicilline resistance was detected in only one of the 80 enterococcus species, none of them showed resistance to vancomycin or teicoplanin and 17,5% of them were detected as resistant to high level aminoglycosides. In conclusion, we can say that there is no antimicrobial resistance problem in the intestinal E.coli, klebsiella and enterococcus isolates of chickens for our region at the present time.
