The aim
of this study was to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility, resistance
status and to determine the ESBL properties with Vitek in Salmonella spp. strains, which was isolated and identified from raw
chicken meats. In this study, chicken meats were analyzed for Salmonella spp. isolation. As a result of isolation and
identification, a total of 35 Salmonella
spp. isolated. As a result of the antibiotic susceptibilities
tests, according to the results of Vitek 2 Compact AST GN 38, all isolates were
found to be resistant to amikacin, cephalexin, tobramycin, gentamycin and
enrofloxacin. 29 (82.85%) isolates were found to be resistant to tetracycline
and nitrofurantoin. 20 (57.15%) and 21 (60%) isolates were found to be
resistant to ampicillin and piperacillin respectively. In addition, extended
spectrum beta-lactamase was detected in 4 isolates. According to the results of disc diffusion method, all isolates were
found to be resistant against erythromycin. 34 (97.14%) of all isolates were found to be resistant against sulfonamide
compounds, 28 isolates (80%) were found to be
resistant against ampicillin sulbactam and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, 26
isolates (74.28%) were found to be resistant against neomycin, 29 (82.85%)
isolates were found to be resistant against oxytetracycline and tetracycline, 31 (88.57%), 17
(48.57%), 10 (28.57%), 6 (17.14%) were found to be resistant
against ofloxacin, florfenicol,
amoxicillin,
chloramphenicol
respectively. 24 (68.57%) and 6
(17.14%) isolates were found to be intermediate (I-drug increased contact
sensitive) and resistant to
ciprofloxacin, respectively. In view of these results, it was thought that, in
terms of public health, it could cause infection in people consuming
contaminated foods with multiple antibiotic resistance strains, antibiotics
could not be effected due to multiple antibiotic resistance and increase in the
number of resistant strains. Finally,
it was thought that the studies on antibiotic resistance could be beneficial in terms of epidemiology
