Prevalence and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Salmonella from Chicken Eggs in Naogaon District of Bangladesh

Abstract

Salmonella is one of the most common zoonotic bacteria that cause foodborne illness in humans. An investigation was conducted to determine the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of Salmonella isolates from chicken eggs in the Naogaon district, Bangladesh. Salmonella was isolated from cultures on different selective-differential media and further identified by biochemical tests. Antibiogram study was done by the disk diffusion method. The overall prevalence of Salmonella was recorded as 7.78%, whereas 5.56% was on eggshell surfaces and 2.22% was in egg contents. The Salmonella prevalence was 8.33%, 13.33% and 1.67% in chicken eggs from layer farms, whole sellers and retailers, respectively. Salmonella isolates were found 50.0% to 85.71% sensitive to chloramphenicol, gentamycin, ciprofloxacin, and ceftriaxone. Resistance against gentamycin, chloramphenicol, and ampicillin was found significant ranging from 21.43% to 71.42%. The highest resistance was found in amoxicillin (92.86%). The present study proposes that chicken eggs are a potential reservoir of multidrug-resistant Salmonella. Antibiotic-resistant Salmonella will pose a problem to treat Salmonella infection in humans. Thus, the aim of this study is to assess the risk of Salmonella resistance in chicken eggs.

A Study on Acceptance of Contraceptive Device Among Female in A Rural Area of Bangladesh and Its Relation with Their Educational Level

“…This descriptive cross sectional study was aimed at to find out the acceptance of contraceptive devices among 120 females in rural area of Bangladesh and its relation with their educational level. In our study, about 46.92% were age group 26 to 35 years and 11.11% were age group more than 36 years of age, More or less similar pictures were found in studies done by Hossain T et al 6 .…”

Zoonotic Significance and Antimicrobial Resistance in Salmonella in Poultry in Bangladesh for the Period of 2011–2021

“…Salmonella contamination at an increased level is concerning for both poultry farming and public health. Since the egg surface may have been contaminated with Salmonella via excrement during lay in an unsanitary environment from tainted fowl, the average Salmonella content is 18.09% [23,30,32,36]. In this review, we found that 17.19%, 28.57% and 30% of salmonellae were present in water, transport swab and air samples from poultry farm environments in Bangladesh [25,33,39,41].…”

“…Additionally, Mahmud et al [30] and Talukder et al [46] observed 100% resistance to ampicillin and amoxicillin in Chittagong and Mymensingh. Furthermore, Salmonella was found to be 40% to 92.86% resistant to ampicillin and amoxicillin in broilers and layers [32,34,36,48]. Jahan et al [25] detected 100% ampicillin-and amoxicillin-resistant Salmonella from dressed broilers, water and device surface samples, whereas Alam et al [38] and Hossain et al [41] reported 66.67% to 82.85% ampicillin-resistant Salmonella in cloacal, fecal, litter, feed, water, air and handwashing samples collected from different broiler farms in Mymensingh.…”

“…However, it has long been used to treat numeric types of bacterial maladies in both individuals and animals [98]. Studies carried out throughout 2012 to 2021 have reported variable degree (20% to 58%) resistance in Salmonella to chloramphenicol in layer birds in Bangladesh [23,32,36,41,47]. In broilers, about 94.28% to 100% resistance was reported in Salmonella to chloramphenicol [25,38].…”

Salmonella enterica in Invasive Lizard from Fernando de Noronha Archipelago: Serotyping, Antimicrobial Resistance and Molecular Epidemiology

“…In contrast to the literature, the S. enterica isolates from FN wild tegus presented low prevalence of antimicrobial resistance. Chen et al [ 42 ] and Hossain et al [ 43 ] have reported high drug resistance rates in S. enterica isolated from reptiles and eggs in Asia, including over 30% of cephalosporin resistance. In opposition, our study finds 56.1% of the isolates were susceptible to all tested antimicrobials.…”
