Overview

A cross-sectional study found 28% prevalence of E. coli in broiler chickens, highlighting significant antibiotic resistance.

Key Points

  • Overall prevalence of E. coli identified was 28% based on phenotypic methods.
  • Molecular identification confirmed 16.4% prevalence using PCR techniques.
  • A high percentage (88.9%) of isolates were multidrug-resistant, indicating serious AMR concerns.
  • Antibiotic sensitivity tests showed 96.3% resistance to ampicillin among tested strains.
