Overview

Analysis shows high prevalence and multidrug resistance in Escherichia coli from poultry birds, indicating urgent need for improved regulations.

Key Points

  • Overall prevalence of E. coli was found to be 36.7% in poultry birds sampled from two farms.
  • Isolates showed high susceptibility to gentamicin and ciprofloxacin, ranging from 80.0-100%.
  • Resistance to ampicillin and tetracycline was significant, with rates between 45.5-75.0%.
  • Multidrug resistance was present in 35.3% of isolates, highlighting urgent needs for better farm practices.
