Overview

This study assesses antibiotic resistance and prevalence of multidrug-resistant E. coli in poultry faeces, highlighting public health risks.

Key Points

  • The study found a high prevalence of multidrug-resistant E. coli O157:H7 in poultry feces.
  • Of 180 samples, 105 were E. coli isolates, with 26 identified as O157:H7, showing concerning resistance patterns.
  • Samples were enriched and plated on specific media, followed by confirmation of identity and susceptibility testing.
  • The presence of these resistant bacteria poses significant public health risks to consumers and individuals in direct contact.
