“…The isolates showed highest resistance to ceftazidine (100%) followed by erythromycin (91.67%), ofloxacin (91.67%), cefoxitin (83.33%), cefuroxime (83.33%), cloxacillin (83.33%) and gentamicin (75%). The high resistance against erythromycin (91.67%) recorded in this study is in agreement with that of Suleiman et al (2013) and Geidam et al (2012b) who reported 100% and 85%, respectively. However, this is in contrast to that of Nworie et al (2013) who reported 65% resistance of MRSA against erythromycin.…”

| Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen associated with food poisoning and several forms of diseases in both man and animals. In poultry, the organism is incriminated in multiple infections and syndromes such as omphalitis, femoral head necrosis, tenosynovitis and bumble foot. The treatment of staphylococcal infections is becoming more challenging due to the emergence of antibiotic resistant strains such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that are currently resistant to all β-lactam antibiotics (penicillins and cephalosporins). In order to understand the spectrum of MRSA in poultry, a total of 12 MRSA isolates positive for the presence of penicillin binding protein 2α (PBP2α) were tested for antibiotic resistance against 10 antibiotics using disc diffusion method. Isolates were found to be completely resistant (100%) against ceftazidime, followed by erythromycin and ofloxacin (91.67%), cefuroxime, cloxacillin, and cefoxitin (83.33%), gentamicin (75.00%) and vancomycin (64.29%) while the least resistance was recorded against ceftriaxone and amoxicillin/clavulanate (58.33%). The MRSA isolates also exhibited multi-drug resistance pattern with all resisting not less than four antibiotics. These data indicate that MRSA are prevalent in the poultry and precautionary measures are required to block their transmission to human.

Background The occurrence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) due to the high demand in poultry industries are of great public health concern. Indiscriminate and abusive use of various antibiotics on a large scale causes antibiotic resistance (AMR) in animal-associated bacteria that may be pathogenic to humans. These bacteria are widely disseminated in the environment via animal waste. This study was therefore designed to assess the prevalence of multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) among the environmental bacteria in poultry farms and to determine the risk contamination category of poultry by calculating the multiple antibiotic resistance index (MARI). Results More than half (58.2%) of the 511 total bacteria had MAR, and a number of bacteria were resistant to cefazolin (86.8%), fusidic acid (84.6%), ampicillin (79.3%), clindamycin (65.5%) and erythromycin (63.7%). These antibiotics are listed under the WHO’s criteria of critically and highly important antibiotics in human medicine. In this study, 39.53% of the MARI values, which indicate the contamination level in the environment, indicated a high risk, while 14.48% were ambiguous. Conclusion These results therefore have shown that MAR is present not only among humans and animals but also in environmental bacteria. The high prevalence of MAR and the MARI values, together with the resistance patterns of each bacterium, indicate various effects, including possible occupational risks among workers. This study provides an introduction to the AMR of bacteria in the environment. Further studies are needed to observe the horizontal transfer of the resistance gene and the overall mobile genetic elements in environmental bacteria.

This is the first report on the antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from drinking water samples in Tamale Metropolis of Ghana. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed using the disc diffusion method and the results interpreted using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. A total of 56 water sample Escherichia coli isolates were screened against nine different antibiotics. Overall, 37.90% of the Escherichia coli isolates were resistant, 12.90% were intermediate and 49.21% were susceptible. Resistance to vancomycin (94.64%) and erythromycin (85.71%) was high. Susceptibility to ciprofloxacin (94.64%), gentamicin (91.07%) and ceftrioxine (89.29%) was also high. A relatively higher percentage of the water sample Escherichia coli isolates exhibited intermediate resistance to amoxycillin/clavulanic acid (50%). The Escherichia coli isolates also exhibited 24 antibiotic resistant patterns with the pattern E-VA (erythromycin-vancomycin) and SXT-E-VA-TE (Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole-erythromycin-vancomycin-tetracycline) being the commonest (each exhibited by nine different isolates). Multiple antibiotic index (MAR index) ranged from 0.11-0.56. Resistance to five (MAR index of 0.56) and four (MAR index of 0.44) different antibiotics were exhibited by 8 and 21 isolates, respectively. A number of Escherichia coli isolated from different water sources did exhibit the same resistant pattern. This study revealed that Escherichia coli from drinking water sources in Tamale, Metropolis are resistant to some antibiotics. Therefore, the use of antibiotics in animal production and for human treatments in the Metropolis need to be checked and curbed to prevent more isolates from becoming resistant.
