Özet

ESBL-producing E. coli strains threaten public health and obligate the use of last-resort antibiotics. This study determined 15 (12.5%) E. coli isolates through 16S rRNA and gyrB genes specific to E. coli in 120 egg samples. Antibiotic resistance was detected according to the EUCAST and CLSI in E. coli isolates. 4 isolates were susceptible to all antibiotics, only 1 isolate was resistant to 2 antibiotics, and 11 E. coli isolates (73.3%) had multidrug resistance, respectively. In addition, most antibiotic resistance developed against ampicillin (80%), tetracycline (66.6%), and chloramphenicol (66.6%) in E. coli isolates. A double-disc confirmation test analyzed ESBL existence, and blaTEM, blaSHV, blaCTX-M, and blaOXA genes were searched by PCR. The blaTEM (100%) genes were found in all E. coli isolates, and blaCTX-M genes were detected in only 3 (20%) E. coli isolates. However, none of the E. coli isolates contained the genes responsible for carbapenem and colistin resistance. Our results show that multi-drug antibiotic resistance and the blaTEM gene are wide-ranging in E. coli. This is the first comprehensive study in Türkiye on ESBL-producing E. coli isolates in table eggs.
