ABSTRACT
Antimicrobial resistance in bacteria is a major public health concern in all nations across the globe and, in animal husbandry its occurrence seems to be directly related to the use of antimicrobial agents for several purposes. To better address the issue of antibacterial resistance in farming, an experimental study was conducted in 7 farms of the Ndé Division (West Cameroon). It aimed at exploring the antibiotics used and the resistance profiles of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from the gastro-intestinal tract of bovines. Feces specimens were collected in each farm subsequent to fulfillment of official and ethical requirements and questionnaire filling. The collected specimens were subjected to microbiological analyses according to standard protocols (REMIC 2018 and CASFM veterinary 2018). Data analysis revealed that, the Keywords: Bacteria, antibiotic resistance profile, bovine, Ndé division. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
