Abstract

Objective: The present study aimed to
investigate the prevalence of Salmonella
and their antibiotic resistance pattern against two commonly used antibiotics:
ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone in marketed live chickens in a live birds market. 

Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on live Sonali chickens (crossbred
of Fayoumi female and Rhode Island Red male). Cloacal swabs were collected from
50 randomly selected live birds from 5 retail sellers (10 samples/seller) at Jhawtola
live birds’ market, Chattogram, Bangladesh. Culture and biochemical tests were
used to identify Salmonella. Positives samples for Salmonella were further
tested for antibiogram by disc diffusion method.

Results: Salmonella was identified from 28 (56%) of samples by culture and
biochemical test. Among the positive isolates, 27 (96.42%) samples exhibited resistant to ceftriaxone, and 20 (71.42%) samples were to
ciprofloxacin. 

Conclusion: The result of this study indicates
there is a high prevalence of Salmonella
in marketed local chicken and are resistant to ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin
which has economic importance as well as a public health concern. Awareness
should be increased to prevent random use of antibiotics and provision of
strict biosecurity measures.
