Antibiotic Resistant Profile of Enteric Bacteria Isolated from Chicken Meats

Abstract

Diseases that may arise due to microbial pathogens and biotoxins in foods pose serious dangers to human health. In recent years, there has been an increase in foodborne disease outbreaks as never before in the past. Epidemics are effective in much larger areas than before and create longerlasting problems. Foodborne diseases not only affect the health of individuals, but also have broader consequences due to their impact on the income of families, loss of workload, and burden on the health systems of countries and their effects on economic productivity. Foodborne illnesses are over 250 and about a third of them are caused by bacteria. In this study, it is purposed that enteric bacteria analysis of 10 chicken meat samples and antibiotic resistant profile of isolates. The resulting isolates are Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Serratia odorifera biogp 1, Kluyvera ascorbata. Enteric isolates from chicken samples were tested for antibiotic sensitivity against vancomycin, ampicillin, kanamycin, oxytetracycline, erythromycin antibiotics by agar dilution method. According to results, high resistance rates of the obtained isolates to the antibiotics studied were also determined. The presence of important enteric pathogens and the high rate of antibiotic resistance carry significant public health risks in chicken meat consumption.
