Antibiogram Analysis of Escherichia coli Isolates Recovered from Dog Faeces

Antimicrobial resistance is a global problem affecting animals and humans. Improper use of antibiotics by humans, inefficient prevention control infections, poor hygiene sanitation, are causes for the emergence distribution antibiotic resistant bacteria. The role pets quite significant as disseminators antimicrobial-resistant This study was planned to analyze susceptibility profile Escherichia coli isolated from dog faeces. faecal samples (n=5) collected Veterinary Clinical Complex, College Animal Science, Navania were subjected bacteriological examination isolation identification coli. isolates confirmed PCR detect species specific uspA gene. testing done determine pattern isolates. In present study, it revealed that out 5 analyzed, E 4 samples. analysis amplification 884 bp product gene among Further on analyzing antibiogram, found chloramphenicol, oxytetracycline, azithromycin, ampicillin, co-trimoxazole ceftriaxone effective against E. While, amoxicillin trimethoprim. Therefore, concluded screening cultures antimicrobial will not only help in deciding right treatment but also identify shifting trends resistance.
