Abstract
Background: The intensive use of veterinary drugs contributes to the emergence of bacterial resistance. Indeed, the most worrying problem is the appearance of multi-resistant bacteria knowing that some strains are resistant to all known antibiotics.Objective: The objective of this work is to determine the prevalence of Escherichia coli multi-resistance isolated from turkey meat marketed at Kenitra city (Morocco).Material and methods: 82 Escherichia coli strains were isolated from turkey meat marketed in Kenitra city (Morocco). The resistance to 14 antibiotics was done by the standard antibiogram method with inhibition diameters.Results: The antibiogram has revealed a very good sensitivity of strains against four antibiotics: Gentamicin (95.1%), Ampicillin (89%), Colistin (86.5%) and Enrofloxacin (80.4%). However, a mean sensitivity was observed in three antibiotics: Spectinomycin (52.4%) Trimethoprim / Sulfamethoxazole (46.3%) and Ciprofloxacin (42.6%). In addition, the highest percentages of resistance were observed in Erythromycin (97.5%), Tetracycline (95.1%), Norfloxacin (92.6%), Kanamycin (82.9%), Nalidixic acid (79.2%) and Cefalotin (67%). These results reveal a difference in the prevalence of Escherichia coli resistance against all antibiotics.Conclusion: This study shows that the Escherichia coli presented in turkey meat are multi-resistant against all tested antibiotics. Keywords: Antibiotic,Public health, residue, Intoxication, multidrug.
