Prevalence and molecular characteristics of extended spectrum β-lactamase producing Escherichia coli isolated from retail chicken meat sold at the modern and traditional markets in Jakarta, Indonesia

The use of antibiotics in veterinary and human treatment can cause the development antibiotic resistance bacteria for β-lactam antibiotics. Worldwide, this has become a growing concern public health. Limited data are currently available regarding Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) Escherichia coli Indonesia. current study determined prevalence characteristics ESBL genes E. retail chicken meat humans Two hundred eighty were randomly collected from various modern traditional markets Jakarta (70 sourced 210 markets). sold at was 97.14%, which significantly higher than those with 78.57 % (P < 0.05). ESBL-producing isolated market 40.47% 35.71 38.09 %, is clinical sample (with average 5.57 %). most predominant gene blaTEM 54.54 as single or mixed other followed by blaCTX-M 44.31 blaSHV only found three isolates 1.13 %. This that both broiler samples having same molecular characteristics. It speculated there relationship between them. However, needs to be substantiated further.
