Abstract/ Executive Summary:

About 30% poultry samples harboured Aeromonas spp. Sensitivity tests of 100 selected strains against 12 antibiotics revealed that 20 - 100% were resistant to nine and 18 - 85% were sensitive to eight antibiotics, respectively. All isolates showed multiple resistance to six to nine antibiotics and thus pose a risk for both chicken farms and public health.

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Poultry

Objectives:

The present study was designed to isolate Aeromonas from five poultry sources of Dhaka, Bangladesh for assessing their susceptibility patterns to some common antibiotics, conventionally used in Bangladesh.

Methodology:

A total of 150 samples, 30 from each source such as cloacal swabs and intestinal fluid of chicken, egg surface, soil of chicken market and hand wash of chicken salesman from different poultry markets of Mohakhali, New market, Mirpur and Malibag were collected. All the samples were transported to the laboratory immediately in an ice box (4 - 6° C). In case of samples of cloacal swab, the test tubes containing APW were incubated for 24 hr at 37° C. The isolation of bacteria was done by viable culture method using spread plating, pour plating and membrane filter technique (Akond et al. 2009). For successful isolation of typical colonies, triplicate plates of xylose deoxycholate citrate agar (XDCA) medium (Hi-Media, India) were made and incubated for 24 hr at 37º C. The isolated cultures were purified by subculture into single identical colonies. Identification was confirmed following standard morphological and biochemical tests of Buchanan and Gibbons (1974).
