Addressing difficulties in susceptibility testing of colistin and the emergence of colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae became a huge burden to medical practitioners due to the complexity of the method and interpretation of the minimum inhibitory concentration of antibiotics. These circumstances are not only rampant among human infection but also in the animal farm industry -- particularly, the swine farms, which have the greatest number of cases of Enterobacteriaceae infection. This study aims to determine the prevalence of colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae from 40 fecal samples of backyard farm swine (30) and swine raisers (10) in Tanay, Rizal, the Philippines via culture, biochemical testing, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing for colistin. Enterobacteriaceae from fecal samples were isolated, singly picked, and subjected to biochemical tests. Susceptibility testing was performed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration. The isolates recovered from fecal samples of backyard swine were Escherichia coli (77%), Salmonella species (16%), Citrobacter freundii (7%), and two non-Enterobacteriaceae Pseudomonas species, whereas all fecal samples from swine raisers were positive for E. coli (100%). Moreover, 13.04% of E. coli isolates from backyard farm swine exhibited resistance to colistin with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 4ug/mL, following the international guidelines for interpretation of colistin resistance, whereas the rest of the isolates were susceptible to colistin. E. coli, Salmonella, and C. freundii were present in fecal samples of backyard swine and three E. coli were resistant to colistin. There is a 13.04% prevalence of colistin-resistant E. coli isolated from pooled fecal samples of a backyard swine farm in Tanay, Rizal, the Philippines. The increasing cases of colistin resistance should be strictly monitored in animal farms to come up with a robust solution to fight against antimicrobial resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
