Abstract :
The study of Antimicrobial Resistance
Profiling of E. coli is paramount during Production of
Laying Chicken due to potential economic implications
to the poultry industry. The overuse of antibiotics in
poultry production has caused antimicrobial
resistance(AMR), leading to ineffective treatment of
infectious diseases and death. The objective of the study
was to isolate and identify, to determine the prevalence
of E. coli spp from laying chicken production, and to
examine the antimicrobial sensitivity rates and
resistance patterns from the selected antibiotics. A cross-
sectional study was carried out and STATA software
was used for data analysis. The findings of the study
revealed that E. colispp were present in 95% of the 200
samples that tested positive, while the remaining 5%
tested negative. There were 287 isolates identified from
200 cloaca swabs with Escherichia coli spp., 171 (59.6%).
Escherichia coli spp. isolates, showed 78.2% sensitivity to
Ciprofloxacin, 73.4% to Ofloxacin, 71.8 % to
Sparfloxacin, and 70.9% to Pefloxacin. E. coli spp found
to be resistant to Septrin (73.4%), Streptomycin (65.4%),
and other antibiotics (63.7%). At least 31 MDR patterns
were obtained during the antibiotic susceptibility testing
presumed to be due to the misused of antibiotics.
