“…Many species of Salmonella are known to carry multi drug resistant genes (Gebreyes and Altier, 2002) which has been a matter of concern. Drug resistance profiles of Salmonella have been investigated by others (Nazer and Safari, 1994;Van Duijkeren et al, 2003;Lee et al, 2005;Adesiym et al, 2007). This study recorded the presence of multidrug resistance Salmonella in pigeons.…”

A B S T R A C TThis study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of Salmonella spp. in apparently healthy pigeons at the live bird markets, farms and villages in the Mymensingh district of Bangladesh. Cloacal swabs (n = 36), foot pads (n = 36) and feces (n = 40) of pigeons were collected aseptically and inoculated onto various culture media for isolation of Salmonella. Identification of Salmonella from culture positive samples was performed by cultural characteristics, Gram's staining and biochemical tests. The prevalence of Salmonella in cloacal swabs, foot pads and feces was 22.22%, 58.33% and 27.50%, respectively. The overall prevalence of Salmonella in pigeons was 35.71%. Pigeons at live bird markets, farms and villages showed a 40.48%, 20% and 30% prevalence of Salmonella, respectively. Antibiotic sensitivity tests of the Salmonella was performed by the disc diffusion method against 10 randomly used antibiotics. The highest rate of resistance was found with amoxicillin (90%) followed by ampicillin (80%), erythromycin (80%) and tetracycline (60%). The highest rate of sensitivity was recorded to ciprofloxacin (80%) followed by sulphamethoxazole (70%), chloramphenicol (60%), kanamycin (60%), gentamicin (60%) and nalidixic acid (60%). Data from this study suggest that pigeons carry multi-drug resistant Salmonella which can be transferred to humans through direct contact or the food chain and could cause a potential public health hazard.

“…These are used in a number of traditional Pakistani dishes from decades. However, the recent studies have declared that enteric bacteria like Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, etc., could contaminate these eggs and may cause egg-borne diseases (Adesiyun et al, 2006;Adesiyun et al, 2007). Some global epidemics have also been linked with egg consumption and known to cause egg-borne pathogens present in poultry eggs and their contents (CDC, 1990;Rocourt et al, 2003).…”

| Escherichia coli is one of the common microbial flora of poultry gut. Most of E. coli isolates are nonpathogenic but are considered to be an indicator of fecal contamination in food industry. A study was carried-out on the prevalence, incidence, isolation and antibiogram of E. coli from table eggs. A total of 100 table eggs were collected from various locations of district Peshawar, Pakistan and divided into three parts viz., the egg-yolk, egg-white and eggshell. These were cultured on different media and identified organism was subjected to antibiogram study using the disk diffusion method. The overall prevalence of E. coli was found as 37%. While, incidence was recorded as 15% in eggshells, 12% in egg-whites and 10% in egg-yolks. It was concluded that the table eggs were contaminated with E. coli and higher incidence of E. coli was recorded in eggshells as compared to other components of the eggs. The antibiotics ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin were recorded highly active against E. coli.
