Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella and Campylobacter species isolated from duck laying flocks in 7 confinement systems and 7 free-grazing systems were determined in central Thailand. In the confinement system, 13.8% (88/639) of Campylobacter spp. were isolated from cloacal swabs; 72.7% was identified as C. jejuni and 27.3% was identified as C. coli. From drinking and surface water samples, 60.0% of Campylobacter spp. were isolated; all was identified as C. jejuni. In the free-grazing system, 0.3% (2/700) of Campylobacter spp. were isolated from cloacal swabs; all was identified as C. jejuni. In addition, 52.9% was isolated from drinking and …

The aim of this study was to isolate antimicrobial-resistant bacteria from intensive commercial and backyard swine operations (farms) in Northern Thailand and to characterize antimicrobial usage among swine farmers. A total of 51 swine farms in Chiang Mai, Lampoon, and Nan provinces were visited from February to October 2011 to collect swine fecal samples for bacterial isolation (Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis) and antimicrobial resistance testing. A survey about production intensity, management practices, animal health, and antimicrobial usage was conducted with a sub-set of farms (n = 20) located in Nan province. The farm-level prevalence of drug-resistant E. coli, …
Isolation And Molecular Characterization Of Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella, Shigella And Proteus From Domestic Birds, Aly E. Abo-Amer, Mohammed Y. Shobrak
Isolation And Molecular Characterization Of Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella, Shigella And Proteus From Domestic Birds, Aly E. Abo-Amer, Mohammed Y. Shobrak
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
The increase in multidrug-resistant enteric bacteria, especially Salmonella, Shigella and Proteus in poultry has become a significant public health threat. Therefore, this work was aimed to investigate whether domestic birds have a role in the emergence and transmission of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in Taif province. Salmonella, Shigella and Proteus were isolated from different types of healthy domestic birds (n=42) collected from different places. Bacterial isolates were recovered from cloacal swabs of birds by non-selective and selective pre-enrichment technique. One hundred and sixty six bacterial isolates were screened for antibiotic susceptibility such as Cefaclor, Oxacillin, Ampicillin, Chloramphenicol, Cephalexin, Neomycin, Colistin, Ciprofloxacin, …
