Abstract
Background: This article presents the results of studies on the antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica isolates isolated from animal products of the Almaty region, Kazakhstan using a new domestic component of culture media for the cultivation of microorganisms from defibrinated horse blood.
Results: The results showed that the Almaty region can be classified as region with low resistance rates of E. coli to cefotaxime, ampicillin/sulbactam, levofloxacin, meropenem and Salmonella to levofloxacin and high resistance rates of E. coli to norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, and Salmonella to norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin. The use of a domestic component of culture media for the cultivation of microorganisms from defibrinated horse blood makes it possible to obtain media enriched with micro and macronutrients for reliable and high-quality laboratory analyses.
Conclusions: It is assumed that the irrational use of fluoroquinolones in animal husbandry leads to an increase in the resistance of microorganisms that cause infectious diseases common to humans and animals, since the above types of antibiotics (fluoroquinolones) are the most important drugs for the treatment of bacterial infections in medicine and veterinary medicine.
The results indicate that pathogens of enteropathogenic diseases resistant to antibacterial drugs are circulating in the territory of the Almaty region of Kazakhstan and the use of a domestic component of culture media for the cultivation of microorganisms from defibrinated horse blood makes it possible to obtain media enriched with micro and macronutrients for reliable and high-quality laboratory analyses.
