Molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant avian pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from poultry and poultry products

Overall occurrence of Escherichia coli in the current study was 7.55% and corresponding group wise 13%, 2.66%, 10% 7% a faecal cloacal samples, environmental Retailer’s shop’s restaurant samples respectively. Amongst different type processed, highest recovery from collected at poultry farms (13%) followed by shop (10%) suggesting heavy infection contamination occurring initial points chain. In this study, four isolates failed to exhibit pathogenic potential E. using - vitro assays viz. Congo red dye binding assay haemolysis 5% sheep blood agar, also turned out be negative on virulent marker based PCR, proficient efficacy targeted genes ecp uidA for precise time saving determination isolates. Besides, one isolate recovered raw chicken meat sample showed resistance against all 15 antibiotics other two litter 14 development multi-drug common food pathogens, most widely used effective drug choices animal as well human medicine.
