Abstract
Aerococcous spp. thought to be a harmless pathogen, it is now recognized as a promising disease-causing microorganism. In the field of microbiology, aerococci are frequently confused with streptococci, leading to incorrect diagnoses. Antimicrobial resistance is globally increasing which is reflected in public health threat .Therefore, the current study was performed to evaluate the incidence of A. viridans in one hundred fecal swabs collected from broilers and layers farms in the Sharkia government, Egypt, and described its antibiotic resistance by VITEK system. Only one A. viridans isolate was identified from 100 samples. A. viridans isolate was susceptible to vancomycin, Trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole and linezolid, while, A. viridans isolate was resistant to Penicillin G, meropenem ,tetracycline and Ceftriaxone. As the first study in Egypt, this study concluded that MDR A. viridans of importance in public health which plays an essential role in diarrhea infection in poultry and is considered a hazard to human health.
