ABSTRACT

Antimicrobial resistance is a major global problem for both humans and animals. Increased use of antimicrobials in livestock and poultry was one of the causes of the development of antimicrobial resistance in microorganisms. The aim of the study was to analysis the antimicrobial resistant bacteria from raw meat and fruit juice samples. A total of 7 bacterial genera were recovered from meat and fruit samples. Out of 24 samples, 48 isolates were observed and meat showed the highest number of isolates. E.coli, K.pneumoniae and E.faecalis (21%) were obtained to be the most prevalent bacteria followed by Proteus sp (12.5%). Following the prevalence study, antibacterial resistance patterns were observed from all isolates. From the overall results in both sources, among the 11 antibiotics used, penicillin and amoxicillin were resistant to 93.3% of isolates, and a higher number of MDR bacteria were observed in goat samples in comparison to other samples. Additionally, 60.4% of biofilm producers were observed from all samples, especially those which were higher in MDR isolates. This study indicates that antibiotics are at high risk of bacteria, higher in meat than in fruit juices. Keywords: Meat, fruit juice, MDR, Biofilm, food pathogens
