Occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains isolated in poultry

The main goal of the study was to analyse the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains in poultry in the Czech Republic in 1999-2000. The resistance was determined in 128 selected Escherichia coli, 88 Staphylococcus sp., and 228 Enterococcus sp. strains. Escherichia coli strains were res...

Summary:The main goal of the study was to analyse the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains in poultry in the Czech Republic in 1999-2000. The resistance was determined in 128 selected Escherichia coli, 88 Staphylococcus sp., and 228 Enterococcus sp. strains. Escherichia coli strains were resistant to tetracycline (97 %), ampicillin (51 %), piperacillin (31 %), ofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin (10 %). Staphylococcus sp. strains were resistant to erythromycin (39 %), clindamycin (19 %), tetracycline (14 %), and ofloxacin (13 %). Enterococcus sp. strains were resistant to tetracycline (80 %), erythromycine (59 %), and nitrofurantoin (34 %). A high-level resistance to streptomycin was proved in 22 % of the strains. Six strains of Enterecoccus sp. resistant to vancomycin (VRE) were identified as Enterococcus faecium VanA, three strains belonged to Enterococcus sp. group III VanB. Two strains were classified as Enterococcus faecium VanB and Enterococcus faecalis VanB, respectively.
