Abstract

About 30% poultry samples harboured Aeromonas spp. Sensitivity tests of 100 selected strains against 12 antibiotics revealed that 20 - 100% were resistant to nine and 18 - 85% were sensitive to eight antibiotics, respectively. All isolates showed multiple resistance to six to nine antibiotics and thus pose a risk for both chicken farms and public health.

Key words: Aeromonas; Sensitivity; Resistant; Poultry sources; Bangladesh
