Abstract:
The goal of this study was to find E . coli , a prevalent pathogen that causes food-borne illnesses, in chicken samples (n = 500) collected from three districts in KhyberPukhtunkhwa: Mardan, Swabi, and Swat. The E . coli isolates were identified by Gram staining, API strips and Universal Stress Protein. A total of 412 samples tested positive for E . coli and were sensitive to MEM, TZP, and FOS as evidenced by disc diffusion method. The isolates were resistant to TE, NOR, and NA with statistically significant results (P≤0.05). The isolates showed the presence of different antibiotic resistance genes; blaOXA-1 , blaCTX-M15 , blaTEM-1 , QnrS , TetA , AAC , AAD , Sul1 and Sul2 . The results revealed mutations in blaOXA-1 gene (H81Q), blaTEM-1 (C108Y, T214A, K284E and P301S), QnrS (H95R) and Sul2 (E66A). The findings of this study may be helpful in better management of E . coli infections by physicians.
