| dc.description.abstract | Quail farming in the country has been considered as one of the most promising livelihood programs. However, with the imminent threat of antibiotic resistance, it is crucial to determine which antibiotics are still effective against bacterial pathogens in quail. This study is therefore important in finding out which antibiotics are no longer effective in quails and to suggest a better medication program once a disease occur. The study determined the antimicrobial resistance pattern of bacteria isolated from quails in Nueva Ecija through farm selection, sample collection, and subjecting the samples into a bacterial culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing. The antimicrobials being used in the farms were determined, and based on the survey result, enrofloxacin and streptomycin are the most commonly used antimicrobials as their feed and water additive. Some farms also used penicillin. The antimicrobial resistance pattern of putative E. coli colonies against the 13 antibiotics (amoxicillin, aentiofur, cephalexin, doxycycline, erythromycin, kanamicin, neomicin, norfloxcin, penicillin, spectinomycin, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, tilmicosin) was determined. Results show that the isolated bacteria is resistant to amoxicillin, erythromycin, penicillin, spectinomycin, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, with tilmicosin highest resistance to erythromycin, penicillin, spectinomycin, and sulfamethoxazole. This study presents that the intensive use of antibiotics greatly increases the risk of antimicrobial resistance that could cause to a failure in treating infections that could lead to a high percentage of production loss. | |
