Occurrence of multiple drug resistant Escherichia coli and Enterococcus species in village chickens from four farms in Selangor, Malaysia

Intensification of poultry farming is associated with the use of antimicrobial agents either as growth promoters, feed additives or prophylaxis, leading to antimicrobial resistant bacteria in chickens which may serve as a risk to human health via the food chain. In Malaysia, village chickens has bui...

E. coli isolates were resistant to tetracycline (78%), ampicillin (56%), amoxicillin (52%), streptomycin (38%), chloramphenicol (34%), cephalexin (28%), enrofloxacin (24%), gentamicin (8%) and aztreonam (2%), but susceptible to meropenem. Enterococcus spp. isolates were resistant to tetracycline (100%), norfloxacin (72%), enrofloxacin (52%) gentamicin (33%), ciprofloxacin (33%), ampicillin (29%) and amoxicillin (10%), but susceptible to vancomycin. Overall, multiple drug resistance in the village chicken isolates were determined as high E. coli (59%) and Enterococcus spp. (67%), considering the nature of the farming system adopted. 2019 Conference or Workshop Item NonPeerReviewed text en http://psasir.upm.edu.my/id/eprint/110972/1/Icohar-Abstract-Book.pdf Ahmad, Nur Indah and Bejo, Siti Khairani and Nik Mohd Azmi, Nik Mohd Faiz and Japri, Muhammad Syazani (2019) Occurrence of multiple drug resistant Escherichia coli and Enterococcus species in village chickens from four farms in Selangor, Malaysia.
