| Abstract | ||
| ABSTRACT Twenty Escherichia coli strains from faecal samples of broiler chickens and blood, urine and diarrhea samples from humans were isolated and it’s sensitivity to (13) antibiotics were studied, they showed absolute resistance to two antibiotics, including, Cephalothin and Vancomycin. It also showed high resistance (50%) for Gentamicin, Escherichia coli strains isolated from broilers chickens showed higher resistance for five antibiotics: Nitrofurantion, Nalidixic acid, Chloramphenicol, Kanamycin and Ciprotfloxacin than human isolates. While Escherichia coli strains isolated from broilers chickens faecal samples showed lower resistance than those isolated from humans for other five antibiotics: Tetracycline, Cefixime, Trimethoprim, Cefotaxime, Cephalexin | ||
