| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted to isolate and identify different bacteria from Quail in Sylhet Sadar.
The study sample was faeces of Quail and was collected from Sarkar Quail and Poultry
Hatchery, Kashem Quail and Breeder Hatchery and Shibganj Bazar, Sylhet. The samples were
brought to the laboratory of Microbiology and Immunology Department, Faculty of Veterinary
and Animal Science, Sylhet Agricultural University, Sylhet for isolation, identification and
antibiogram study. About 90 samples were examined of which 30 samples from Sarkar Quail
and Poultry Hatchery, 30 samples from Kashem Quail and Breeder Hatchery and 30 samples
from Shibganj Bazar, Sylhet. Out of 30 samples from Sarkar Quail and Poultry Hatchery 23
samples were positive for Escherichia coli, 20 samples were positive for Salmonella spp. and 05
samples were positive for Pseudomonas spp. Out of 30 samples from Kashem Quail and Breeder
Hatchery 25 samples were positive for Escherichia coli, 23 samples were positive for Salmonella
spp. and 06 samples were positive for Pseudomonas spp. Out of 30 samples from Shibganj Bazar
26 samples were positive for Escherichia coli, 22 samples were positive for Salmonella spp. and
07 samples were positive for Pseudomonas spp. The percentage of positive samples from Sarkar
Quail and Poultry Hatchery for Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Pseudomonas spp. were
76.67%, 66.67% and 16.67% respectively. The percentage of positive samples from Kashem
Quail and Breeder Hatchery for Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Pseudomonas spp. were
83.33%, 76.67% and 20.00% respectively. The percentage of positive samples from Shibganj
Bazar for Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Pseudomonas spp. were 86.67%, 73.33% and
23.33% respectively. Antibiogram profiles indicate that E. coli isolated from apparently healthy
quails were sensitive to Colistin sulphate, Neomycin, Ciprofloxacin, Chloramphenicol and
totally resistant to Cloxacillin and Amoxacillin. Salmonella spp. were 100% sensitive to
Ciprofloxacin, Colistin sulphate and 100% resistant to Amoxicillin, Ampicillin and cloxacillin.
Pseudomonas spp. were fully sensitive to Ciprofloxacin and Colistin sulphate and totally
resistant to Amoxicillin, Ampicillin and Cloxacillin. | en_US |
