Table 4. Most common antimicrobial resistance patterns of Campylobacter isolates (N = 141) from chicken cecal samples from small poultry flocks in Ontario between October 2015 and September 2017.
Antimicrobial resistance patternA | Number of antimicrobial classes in pattern (multidrug resistant)B | n (%)C |
---|---|---|
TET | 1 (no) | 77 (54.61) |
AZT-CLI-ERY-TEL | 3 (yes) | 6 (4.26) |
CIP-NAL | 1 (no) | 5 (3.55) |
CIP-NAL-TET | 2 (no) | 3 (2.13) |
AResistance to nine selected antimicrobials (including gentamicin and florfenicol) as determined by a broth microdilution technique. AZT = azithromycin; CIP = ciprofloxacin; CLI = clindamycin; ERY = erythromycin; NAL = nalidixic acid; TEL = telithromycin; TET = tetracycline.
BAn isolate was defined as multidrug resistant if it was non-susceptible to one or more antimicrobials in ≥ 3 different antimicrobial classes (Ketolides: TEL; Lincosamides: CLI; Macrolides: AZT, ERY; Quinolones: CIP, NAL; Tetracyclines: TET).
CNumber and percentage of isolates with each antimicrobial resistance pattern. Only patterns with ≥ 3 isolates are shown.
