Abstract:

In our study, our target is to review the bacterial drug resistance from blood samples of chickens in different antibiotic diets. We used 4 groups of 20 chickens. Each group was put on diet for 30 days with Tetracycline (30 mg/kg), Penicillin (20 mg/ kg), Sulfonamide (30 mg/kg) or Floroquinolone (40 mg/kg) group of antibiotics. The sensitivity of E. coli, Stapycoccus spp., Citrobacter spp., Klebsiella spp., was observed in the mediums prepared from blood samples of the groups and compared with the results of previous studies. Compared with the previous sensitivity; it is observed that Trimethoprime resistance was present in E. coli which passage in the antibiotic feed chickens blood media. According to our results in this study, it was understood that bacterial resistance may be seen at the chickens when the chickens are feed with antibiotics due to that these antibiotics are available at their bloods.
