Isolation And Antibiotic Sensitivity Pattern Of Salmonella Species In Poultry Eggs In Michael Okpara University Of Agriculture Umudike (Mouau) Poultry Farm.
ABSTRACT
120 poultry eggs from Michael Okpara University of
Agriculture (MOUAU) poultry farm were analyzed for the presence of Salmonella.
They were labeled samples A to D, each group containing 3Oeggs. Sample A was
collected two days after it was laid, sample B was collected a day after it was
laid, while Samples C and D were collected freshly on the day they were laid.
48 isolates were recovered from all the samples which were broken down as A
(18), B (12), C (8) and D (10). When tested for antimicrobial sensitivity, the
result showed that all the isolates were sensitive to Nitrofuratoin while 40
isolates (83.3%) were resistant to Co-trimoxazole. This result showed that
there is high prevalence of Salmonella in the eggs analyzed.
