- Abstract
Emergence of antimicrobial resistance in animal husbandry is of utmost concern as it has resulted in therapeutic failure. Recently the incidence of multiple drug resistance in E. coli has been increased worldwide which is associated with various illnesses. In this study total 160 clinical samples comprising 80 mastitic milk and 80 diarrhoeic faecal samples of cattle and buffaloes were collected from Ambedkar Nagar and Barabanki districts. The E. coli isolates were confirmed following standard biochemical tests and PCR analysis using species specific primer which revealed 101 (63.12%) confirmed E. coli isolates. Occurrence of E. coli was observed 45.0%, 82.5% in cattle and 35.0% and 90.0% in buffalo of mastitic milk and diarrhoeic faeces samples respectively. Antimicrobial sensitivity test of confirmed isolates was done to study the resistance pattern which revealed 66.7% to 100% resistance against 3rd generation cephalosporin and 100% sensitivity against aminoglycosides and polypeptides. In this study total 70.29% isolates were identified as MDR, which comprised of 53.12% in mastitis milk and 78.0% in diarrhoeic faecal samples. Maximum 17 isolates showed resistance against 7 antibiotics while 2 isolates showed resistance against 13 antibiotics. This is an alarming situation for human and animal population as agriculture and animal husbandry is main occupation of the residents of this area.
