Abstract
Chicken feces sample was collected from 10 different
farms around Koya city between November 25 and December 30,
2017. All samples were cultured and diagnosed by conventional
methods; then antibiotic susceptibility test was carried out by
the agar disc diffusion method. The fecal samples that contain
Salmonella spp. were determined and examined against nalidixic
acid (NAL) (30 μg), chloramphenicol (10 μg), azithromycin
(AZM) (15 μg), and amoxicillin (AMX) (25 μg). Resistance in fecal
Salmonella spp. to NAL, CHL, and AZM was 100%, 91.6%, and
83.3%, respectively. AMX resistance was observed in 50% of the
Salmonella spp., and AMX sensitive was observed in 33.3% of
the isolates. The remaining isolates showed 16.7% intermediate
resistance to AMX. The results of this study strongly indicate that
AMX can be used to inhibit or eliminate any source of foodborne
Salmonella spp. infection.
