Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterium causing high morbidity and mortality rates in chicken and other birds’ particularly young age resulting in great economic losses. In this study a total of 100 samples of throat swabs, nasal swabs, liver, lung and heart (20 of each) were collected from different ages 7, 14, 21 and 35 days of freshly dead and diseased living broiler showing yellowish diarrhea, ruffled feather, and respiratory manifestations, conjunctivitis. Bacteriological examination for the prevalence of Pseudomonas aeroginousa revealed isolation of (20) well identified strains of 20 % with higher isolation from 7, 14 days than 21 and 35 days chickens. The results of antimicrobial sensitivity of the isolates by vitek2 system showed that the isolates were resistance resistant to Tetracycline, Ampicillin, Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid, Chloramphenicol, Nitrofurantoin, and Trimethoprim while, they were sensitive to Amikacin, Cefpirome, Impenem, Piperacillin, Gentamicin and Tobramycin. The presence of the antibiotic resistance genes such as blaTEM (4/4) and mexR (4/4) for Pseudomonas aeruginosa were detected by PCR in some P. aeruginosa isolates.
