Incidence and Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Klebsiella Species Isolated From Poultry Feaces in Owo Metropolis

The wrong and excessive use of antibiotics in the poultry industry poses a threat to public health due to the release of antibiotic-resistant bacteria into the environment and its impact on consumers of poultry products. This research aimed to investigate the occurrence and patterns of antibiotic resistance found in Klebsiella species isolated from poultry faeces in Owo metropolis. Fecal samples were collected from healthy broilers in three privately-owned poultry farms in Owo, using sterile universal bottles and spatulas. Klebsiella species were isolated using MacConkey Agar, and their characteristics on Nutrient Agar were also observed. The isolated Klebsiella species exhibited different characteristics on different media types. All samples from the three farms contained Klebsiella species that were resistant to AUG and CAZ were susceptible to GEN, IMP, AZT, CIP, and NIT. A MARI score of 0.29 was obtained which indicates the presence of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella species in the bird excrement from poultry farms in Owo. Consequently, poultry breeders in Owo should exercise caution when employing antibiotics.
