Antibiotic Resistance of Lactic Acid Bacteria from Canine Faeces
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study has focused on the occurrence of Enterococcus sp., Lactobacillus sp. and Staphylococcus sp., detected in faeces of healthy dogs, and their resistance to commonly used antibiotics. The average of the total count of enterococci reached 5.9 log10 + 1.2, that of lactobacilli 6.9 log10 + 1.6, and of staphylococci 2.4 log10 + 1.1. Among antibiotics tested, the highest resistance of the isolates was found to penicillin G. Most effective antimicrobial agents against canine staphylococci were gentamicin and vancomycin. Ampicillin and chloramphenicol were effective against enterococci and lactobacilli. Moreover, enterococci were sensitive to vancomycin.

BACKGROUND Probiotics are commonly used as feed additive to substitute antibiotic as growth promoter in animal farming. Probiotic consists of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which enhance the growth and health of the animal. Probiotic also have higher possibility to become pathogenic bacteria that may carry antibiotic resistant gene that can be transmitted to other LAB species. The aim of this stud...
