Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Antimicrobial Resistance in Thermophilic Campylobacter Species Isolated From Faecal Samples of Chicken and Turkey
This research aims to characterize antimicrobial resistance in thermophilic Campylobacter species from poultry feces.
Isolated thermophilic Campylobacter species from chicken and turkey fecal samples.
Conducted phenotypic and genotypic analyses of the isolates.
Tested susceptibility to various antibiotics, including gentamicin.
Isolates displayed high susceptibility to gentamicin in vitro.
Findings suggest gentamicin could limit Campylobacter colonization in poultry.
Abstract
The high susceptibility of the isolates to gentamicin in vitro suggests that gentamicin could be a potential agent for limiting Campylobacter colonization in poultry.
