Abstract | ||||
A total of 23 isolates of E. coli, recovered from Baladi chicks manifested respiratory signs associated with diarrhea and belonged to different O-serogroups was investigated for antimicrobial resistance and tested for their tetracycline and ciprofloxacin resistance genes. The result recovered that 91.3% of the isolates were resistant to tetracycline and 26.1% to ciprofloxacin (quinolone group). Ten out of 23 E. coli isolates tested for detection of antimicrobial resistance genes, 5 (50%) isolates were positive for tetA(A) gene, where 5 (50%) isolates were positive for tetA(B) gene. On the other hand all the E. coli isolates 10 (100%) were positive for gyrA gene, where only one isolate (10%) was positive for aac(6’)-Ib-cr gene. | ||||
