Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a major problem worldwide with significance public health impact in both animal and human populations. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a common pathogen in domestic livestock with Escherichia coli (E. coli) being a normal flora in gut and considered as effective indicators for AMR surveillance. This study aimed to evaluate the susceptibility of S. aureus and E. coli isolated from small ruminants in Ladang Angkat against different antimicrobials. Milk and faecal samples were collected from 36 goats from 3 different Ladang Angkat and samples were prepared for the isolation of S. aureus and E. coli isolates respectively. Eleven E. coli isolates were tested for antimicrobial sensitivity test (AST) and all isolates showed resistance towards amoxicillin and penicillin antibiotics while 3 isolates of S. aureus showed resistance towards the same class of antibiotic. The results showed that both S. aureus and E. coli isolates have low susceptibility to different antimicrobials indicating high level of antimicrobial resistance and wider usage of β-lactam antibiotics in most of Ladang Angkat. This study provides detailed information about the antimicrobial resistance profile of the common pathogens in relation to the antimicrobial usage practice in Ladang Angkat.
