ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE IS A GLOBAL PROBLEM IN TURKEY FARMING
Abstract
The development and spread of antibiotic resistance has become a serious cause for concern. No major new types of antibiotics have been developed in the past few decades, and almost all known antibiotics are increasingly losing their activity against pathogenic microorganisms. The development and spread of antibiotic resistance is gradually limiting the possibilities of treating and preventing most bacterial pathogens, threatening the main components of modern human and veterinary medicine. The inappropriate use of antibiotics in the treatment of humans, animals, poultry and the environment, as well as the spread of resistant bacteria and resistance genes among these sectors and worldwide, are contributing factors. Antibiotics can enter the environment from various sources, including human waste, veterinary waste and livestock waste. The aim of our work was to determine the biochemical properties of isolated cultures from patmaterial (turkey carcasses of different age groups), and to investigate the sensitivity of cultures to antibacterial drugs. The research was conducted at the Department of Veterinary Sanitary Inspection, Microbiology, Hygiene and Pathological Anatomy. The research used: bacteriological, pathoanatomical, biochemical methods. The article presents the results of the biochemical properties of microorganisms of the E. coli group and their sensitivity to the most commonly used drugs in veterinary practice. The isolated cultures were oxidase-negative, formed indole, did not form hydrogen sulfide, gave a negative Voges-Proskauer reaction, and did not utilize citrate. According to their morphological properties, they were gram-negative rods, elongated in shape, which were located singly or in pairs in smears. When determining the sensitivity of the isolated strains to antibacterial drugs, we found that 26.3% of the isolated cultures were resistant to the most popular antimicrobial drugs in veterinary practice. The isolated E. coli cultures were most resistant to the penicillin group of antibacterial drugs (87.7%), the polymyxin group (83.9%) and macrolides (25.7%).
