Page No. : 145–147
ABSTRACT
One hundred fifty fecal samples were processed for the isolation of Escherichia coli from diarrhoic poultry birds. Eighty (53.33%) samples were found positive for E. coli. The most frequent serotype was O60 (15.17%) followed by O17 (7.14%), O138 and O170 each (4.29%). On antibiogram study, highest number of isolates 69 (98.57%) exhibited resistance against cefotaxime, followed by piperacillin (85.71%), tetracycline (82.86%), co-trimoxazole (52.86%), ceftizoxime (22.86%), pefloxacin (20%), ampicillin (15.71%), ofloxacin (14.26%) and ciprofloxacin and chloramphenicol (10% each). Only one isolate each (1.43%) showed resistance to gentamicin and amikacin.Keywords: Drug sensitivity, E. coli, poultry, serotyping
