ABSTRACT

Escherichia coli is one of the pathogenic bacteria causing food-borne infections like chicken meat, which can lead to serious public health hazards. Antimicrobial resistance in E. coli is a serious threat to the human population nowadays. The present study aimed to detect extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC beta-lactamase (ACBL)-producing Escherichia coli from chicken meat, from different districts of West Bengal. A total of 107 raw chicken meat samples were collected just after slaughter from different districts’ local markets followed by isolation and identification of 74(69.16%) E. coli isolates by standard conventional and molecular methods. Among the positive isolates, 23(31.08%) were positive to ESBL production with the presence of the blaCTX-M gene, whereas 65(87.84%) strains were found to possess the blaAmpC gene. Antibiogram study of ESBL-positive E. coli strains revealed the sensitivity of these strains to imipenem (65.65%), gentamicin (86.96%), ampicillin/sulbactam (78.26%), and amikacin (82.61%) whereas all other antimicrobials were resistant against these pathogens.
