Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profile of Coliforms from Bovine Mastitis Cases among Pastoral Herds in Parts of Kaduna State, Nigeria: Curbing the Environmental Health Risk

Abstract: Consumption of raw milk from pastoral bovines have been identified as a major source of public and environmental health risk in developing countries. Antimicrobial resistance is a global health challenge threatening the lives of humans and animals. The indiscriminate use of antimicrobial agents among the pastoralists on commercial animals, especially for non-therapeutic purposes has been linked to the development of resistant strains of potentially pathogenic bacteria which are being transferred from animals t… Show more

“…This may explain the reports of high resistance of coliform bacteria against them. This study found that 61.0% isolates were resistant to erythromycin; Mbuk et al [ 49 ] and Makolo et al [ 43 ] had more than 75.0% resistance. The use of chloramphenicol in food-producing animals in many countries has been prohibited to avoid the danger of resistance in human medicine [ 62 ].…”

“…The prevalence of coliform-associated mastitis among cows in this study was 21.9% and this was higher than 8.8% in Nigeria [ 43 ] and 7.2% in Rwanda [ 44 ]. The high prevalence may indicate contamination from soil and faecal matter.…”

“…According to these results, it was considered that multiple drug resistance may spread among the isolates. In K. oxytoca isolates, the highest Makolo et al(41) stated high multiple resistance to tetracycline, penicillin, and erythromycin. Bhat et al(8) determined that the isolates were susceptible mostly to enrofloxacin and gentamicin but all the isolates were resistant to penicillin.…”
