Abstract

The present study documents the antibiotic resistance phenotypes among 134 strains of Pasteurella multocida isolated from chicken,  ducks, turkeys, pigeons and geese in India. P. multocida type A was found to be predominant capsular type causing fowl cholera. The  isolates were resistant to sulphadiazine (90.3%), tetracycline (32%), pefloxacin (20.9%), ciprofloxacin and spectinomycin (18.6%). The  sensitivity pattern indicates that the gentamicin was most effective (98.5%), followed by amoxyclav (97.7%), ampicillin (93.3%) and  ceftriaxone (94%). Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim was found to be effective against 83.5% of the isolates. Erythromycin and enrofloxacin  exhibited intermediate sensitivity of 57% and 67.1%, respectively. Also 23.8% isolates were found to be multidrug resistant and was  statistically significant (p<0.05). The emergence of multidrug resistant strains of P. multocida among poultry warrants the judicious use  of antimicrobial agents for treating the diseases caused by P. multocida in avian spp.
