Abstract

Antibiotic resistance is considered one of the most important problem for global health. Antibiotics are widely used in traditional medicine and in animal husbandry, but not only for the treatment of diseases of bacterial etiology and for preventive purposes, as well as to increase meat productivity. Uncontrolled use of antimicrobial veterinary drugs favors the emergence of resistant strains and the rapid growth and development of antibiotic resistance genes that are transmitted to pathogens. The purpose of the research work was to study and evaluate the purity and spectrum of antibiotic sensitivity of enterobacteria and enterococci strains isolated from benign food products presented on the markets of the Moscow region. Based on the screening of sensitivity profiles to 17 modern bactericidal drugs, among non-clinical isolates of enterococci and enterobacteria, it was found that resistance to antibiotics of the groups of quinolone and the aminoglycoside prevails. Food isolates of the Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococcus spp families isolated from raw cottage cheese and poultry meat with multiresistance occur with a frequency of 27%.
