Antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter isolates from small scale and backyard chicken in Kenya

Abstract: BackgroundThermophilic Campylobacter species are a major cause of bacterial foodborne diarrhoea in humans worldwide. Poultry and their products are the predominant source for human campylobacteriosis. Resistance of Campylobacter to antibiotics is increasing worldwide, but little is known about the antibiotic resistance in Campylobacter isolated from chicken in Kenya. In this study, 35 suspected Campylobacter strains isolated from faeces and cloacal swabs of chicken were tested for their susceptibility to seven… Show more

“…In the Campylobacteriaceae, C. coli, C. fetus, and C. jejuni were detected in cow rumen fluid and feces (Table 1). Similar findings were reported in Tanzania, Kenya and Ghana by (Kashoma et al, 2015;Nguyen et al, 2016;Karikari et al, 2017) in beef cattle feces, faeces and cloacal swabs of chickens and faeces and carcasses of healthy livestock animals, respectively. Pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus sciuri were detected only at the smallholder farms in Tanzania (Table 1).…”

“…In a study carried out by Padungtod et al (49), fluorogenic PCR was used to detect the molecular mechanisms of the resistance and the mutation was found to be present in the gyrA of the strain with ciprofloxacin MIC of 2 mg/L, although the strain was considered as susceptible since the breakpoint for the resistance was regarded as ≥4 mg/L according to the CLSI. In another study in which breakpoint for resistance was accepted as 0.5 mg/L in accordance with EUCAST, strains with ciprofloxacin MIC of 1 and 2 mg/L were found to have the mutation (40). On the other hand, Hormeno et al (41) did not detect any mutation by MAMA-PCR in a strain with ciprofloxacin MIC of 2 mg/L.…”

“…These isolates showed a high rate of resistance to nalidixic acid, tetracycline and ciprofloxacin of 77.4, 71.0 and 71.0%, respectively. Low resistance (25.8%) was detected for gentamicin and chloramphenicol and 61.3% of C. jejuni isolates exhibited multidrug resistance and 54.5% of the C. jejuni isolates possessed the tet(O) gene whereas all of C. coli had the tet(A) gene [74].…”
