This study examined the profile of antimicrobial resistance among isolates of Escherichia coli from poultry intensive farming and free-range systems and their farmers. For technique of Gel Electrophoresis Pulsed Field (PFGE) examined the similarity between isolates from poultry intensive farming and their farmers. From 60 samples of poultry feces from intensive farming systems, 60 of free-range extensive systems and 20 of farmers of each segment, the E. coli was isolated and submitted to the test of susceptability to 12 antimicrobials. 24 isolates of E. coli of poultry from intensive farming systems and eight E. coli isolates from farmers poultry intensive farming were analyzed via technique of PFGE. In intensive farming systems poultry, 100% resistence to ampicillin was verified, 43% to cefotaxime, 48% to ceftriaxone, 62% to nalidixic acid, 23% to enrofloxacin, 23% to ciprofloxacin, 83% to tetracycline and 45% to trimetroprim-sulfametoxazol. In the strains of free-range extensive systems, resistance was 20%, 0%, 0%, 5%, 2%, 4%, 33% and 8%, respectively. Resistance to fosfomycin and to nitrofuratoin was found in isolates of poultry from free-range extensive systems. In farmers from intensive farming systems, the resistance to ampicillin was 60%, 25% to ciprofloxacin and 45% to tetracycline, whereas in farmers from free-range extensive systems, it was 20%, 5% and 30%, respectively. In the isolates of E. coli poultry from free-range extensive systems, 46.6% (28/60) presented themselves as susceptible to all tested antimicrobials in comparison to intensive farming systems in which 81,6% (49/60) were multiresistant. Seven clusters of isolates from poultry showed similarity above 80%. Out of these, two clusters of isolates of poultry from different aviaries presented superior clonality to 95%. Furthermore three clusters isolates of poultry and farmers showed similarity greater than 80%, but only one cluster isolate of attendant and poultry were from the same aviary. |
