Little detailed documentation researched the excessive use of antimicrobials such as tetracycline and sulfonamides in vet- erinary medicine in Tunisia and more studies are needed. A total of 58 of commensal Escherichia coli isolates recovered from fecal samples of healthy poultry (n=31) and bovin (n=27) recovered from farms in Tunisia were examinated for 20 antimicrobial as well as, researched the presence of integron, variable regions (VRs), phylogroupes, tetracycline (tetA, tetB et tetC) and sulfonamides(sul1, sul2, sul3) resistance genes. The most frequently resistance in poultry origin were to tetracycline (94.3%), sulfonamide (70.69%), nalidixic acid (61.29), amoxicillin (58%), to trimthetoprim-sulfamethoxazole and streptomy- cin with the same rate (64.51%), ticarcilline (58%). Whereas, the bovine isolates were most resistant to streptomycin (55.5%), to amoxicillin (18.5), to tet.. Read More»
