A total of 240 caecal samples from six slaughterhouses were examined for the presence of Campylobacter spp. C. jejuni was detected in 40.4% (97/240) of the samples and C. coli in 12.1% (29/240). The agar disc diffusion method and the E-test were used for testing the antimicrobial susceptibility of C. jejuni and C. coli isolates. C. jejuni isolates were most resistant to nalidixic acid (79.4%) followed by tetracycline (76.3%), ciprofloxacin (74.2%) and enrofloxacin (15.5%). Among the C. coli isolates, the frequency of resistance to nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin was the same at 65.5%. The predominant profiles of multidrug resistance to three or more antimicrobials in C. jejuni and C. coli were determined as tetracycline/nalidixic acid/ciprofloxacin resistance (48.5%) and tetracycline/nalidixic acid/ciprofloxacin/enrofloxacin resistance (51.7%), respectively. To prevent the transmission of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria of animal origin to humans, it should be noted that high proportions of multidrug resistance were found in both species.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAntimicrobial resistanceBroiler chickensCampylobacter coliCampylobacter jejuniPrevalenceThermophilic campylobacterAntibiotic-resistanceBroiler-chickensJejuni strainsColiSusceptibilityIdentificationPrevalenceQuinoloneAnimalsPublic, environmental & occupational healthInfectious diseasesVeterinary sciencesAnimaliaCampylobacterCampylobacter coliCampylobacter jejuniGallus gallusAbattoirsAnimalsAnti-bacterial agentsCampylobacterCampylobacter coliCampylobacter infectionsCampylobacter jejuniChickensColony count, microbialDose-response relationship, drugDrug resistance, bacterialDrug resistance, multiple, bacterialHumansMicrobial sensitivity testsPoultry diseasesPublic healthRisk factorsTurkeyZoonosesArticle0002639105000012-s2.0-6184917609410511056318811676Public, environmental & occupational healthInfectious diseasesVeterinary sciencesCampylobacter; Nalidixic Acid; Antibiotic ResistanceAmikacinAmpicillinAntibiotic agentAntiinfective agentChloramphenicolCiprofloxacinEnrofloxacinErythromycinGentamicinKanamycinNalidixic acidStreptomycinTetracyclineAgar diffusionAnimal experimentAntibiotic resistanceAntibiotic sensitivityArticleBacterial transmissionBacterium isolateCampylobacter coliCampylobacter jejuniCecumChickenDisk diffusionEpsilometer testMultidrug resistanceNonhumanPoultry farmingPrevalencePriority journalSlaughterhouseThermophilic bacteriumTurkey (republic)
