Abstract
The widespread occurrence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in food borne bacterial pathogens is a global challenge and the problem is not limited to specific countries or bacterial pathogens.
Multidrug resistance is frequently linked with DNA elements such as integrons, which can disseminate genes encoding resistance to a number of antimicrobial drugs making a great impact on human health.
Therefore, the aim of the present study was to spot the light on Salmonella antimicrobial resistant genes, which may transfer from poultry to human. Thus, it could be achieved through microbiological identification of the selected pathogen, phenotypic characterization of antimicrobial resistance patterns of the recovered isolates by disc diffusion method,and genotypically by conventional PCR to detect association between phenotypic and genotypic characterization of antimicrobial resistance.
In present study , we detect 6 different antibiotic genes (dfrA gene, blaTEM gene, aadB gene, qnrS gene ,sul1 gene and floR gene)in 12 salmonella isolates.
Hence, three hundred samples were collected from diseased and freshly dead poultry from different farms in Hehia City, Sharkia Governorate to be examined bacteriologically for detection
