| dc.description.abstract | Antibiotics are used by humans and animals for treatment of disease, feed, efficiency and growth improvement. Bacterial species became resistant to different antibiotics resulting to high morbidity and mortality rate due to use and misuse of antibiotics. The aim of this study was to isolate Salmonella from caecal contents of the broiler chicken and assess its antimicrobial resistance to different antimicrobial agents. A total number of 72 samples were collected from selected Accredited Poultry Dressing Plants of Central Luzon . Out of this 72 samples, 66 showed positive results for the detection of Salmonella spp. through Vitek GN card. All isolates were found to be sensitive to 5 antimicrobials, namely: Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Ofloxacin, Tigecycline and Colistin and resistant to 4 antimicrobials, namely Cefuroxime, Cefuroxime Axetil, Cefoxitin and Gentamicin. Moreover, all Salmonella spp. isolates were multiple drug resistant since they were found to be resistant to three or more antimicrobials. The Salmonella spp. isolated in this study are resistant to different antimicrobial agents, specifically, antimicrobial agents used in poultry farming. | |
