Objective: The study was isolated Escherichia coli from cloacalswab of layer poultry farms in Blitar area to
investigate their antibiotic sensitivity pattern.
Materials and Method: Fourty swab cloacal samples were collected from 8 farms where located in Blitar
for 3 months. In order for MacConkey agar to be a medium for inoculation and biochemical tests to identify
isolates such as IMViC and TSIA test were performed. The method of antibiotic sensitivity pattern of
Escherichia coli was tested by disk diffusion.
Results: The result revealed40 samples, 34 samples were exposed to contaminationbyE.coli. The pattern of
antibiotic sensitivity showed high resistance against ampicillin (62%), ciprofloxacin (56%), tetracycline and
trimethrophim sulfamethoxazole (53%). Sensitive antibiotics were also observed for amoxicillin clavulanic
acid, cefepime, ampicillin sulbactam, amikacin and meropenem. The presence of MDR and ESBL-producing
Escherichia coli isolated from cloacal swabs of layer poultry farms in Blitar were 47.1% (16/34) and 5.9%
(2/34), respectively.
Conclusion: This research to find out exposed the layer poultry farms to consider critical antibiotic resistance
of E. coli and regarded potential public health hazards.
