Isolation and detection of antibiotics resistance genes of Escherichia coli from broiler farms in Sukabumi, Indonesia

Abstract

<i>Escherichia coli</i> was successfully isolated from cloacal swabs of broiler in Sukabumi, Indonesia. The bacteria were resistant to TE, OT, AMP, CN, NA, CIP, ENR, and erythromycin. Chloramphenicol was more sensitive and effective than other antibiotics in inhibiting the growth of <i>E. coli.</i> The antibiotic resistance genes detected were <i>tetA</i>, <i>blaTEM</i>, <i>gyrA</i>, and <i>ermB</i>.
