摘要:The present study was carried out on 39 meat samples (18 chickens, 12 buffs and 9 pork samples) with an objective to determine the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant E.coli. Meat samples were collected from Kathmandu valley. Selective cultures and disc-diffusion assays were performed for isolation and characterization of antibiotic resistant E.coli. Occurrence of E.coli was observed in 100% meat samples. Higher percentage (34%), of the isolates were found to be resistance to Ampicillin and 8% isolates exhibited resistance to more than one antibiotics (Cephalexin, Nalidixic acid, and Gentamycin). None of the isolates were resistance to Tetracycline. The result revealed that meat sold in the Kathmandu valley may serve as an important vehicle for community-wide dissemination of antibiotic- resistant E.coli which may represent a newly recognized group of medically significant food borne pathogens.
