Prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes in faecal samples from cattle, pigs and poultry

Original language description

Antibiotic resistant bacteria can be easily isolated from the faeces of cattle, pigs or poultry. However, whether the production of different farm animals is associated with a higher or lower prevalence of antibiotic resistance is not clear. In this study we therefore used real time PCR for the quantification of antibiotic gene prevalence in the DNA purified from the faeces of farm animals. First we showed that experimental streptomycin therapy of 12-week-old chickens and 46-week-old hens significantlyincreased the relative prevalence of strA and sul2 genes though this did not necessarily indicate an absolute increase of strA-encoding bacteria. Next we quantified antibiotic gene prevalence in the DNA purified from the faeces of cattle, pigs and layinghens. The lowest prevalence of strA, aadA, sul1, sul2, tet(A), tet(B), tet(G) and cat genes was recorded in the intestinal contents of laying hens. In cattle and pig faecal samples, an intermediate prevalence of antibiotic resistance gen
