is a major cause of foodborne disease outbreaks worldwide, mainly through poultry. Recently, there has been an increase in multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections globally. The increased drug resistance results in increased costs and poorer health outcomes due to unavailability or delayed treatment. This study aims to determine the prevalence of in retail raw chicken meat and identify their antimicrobial resistance profiles. A total of 270 retail raw chicken carcasses (local and imported) were collected from three hypermarket chains in Qatar between November 2017 and April 2018. Thirty carcasses were contaminated with (11.11%). The prevalence of in locally produced chicken was higher than in imported chicken (OR = 2.56, 95% CI: 1.18-5.53, = 0.016). No significant differences were found between the prevalence and storage temperature or hypermarket chain. The highest resistance rates in the isolates were reported to tetracycline (73.7%) followed by nitrofurantoin (53.3%), ampicillin (50%), amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, ceftriaxone (26.7%), and ciprofloxacin (23.3%). Eight isolates were potential extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producers, all in imported frozen chicken ( < 0.0001). Additionally, 43.3% of the isolates were MDR and associated with frozen chicken (OR = 16.88, 95% CI: 2.55-111.47, = 0.002). The findings indicate that while the prevalence of in retail chicken in Qatar is moderate, a large proportion of them are MDR.
是导致全球食源性疾病暴发的主要原因，主要通过家禽传播。最近，全球范围内出现了耐多药（MDR）感染的增加。由于缺乏或延迟治疗，耐药性的增加导致成本增加和健康状况恶化。本研究旨在确定零售生鸡肉中 的流行率，并确定其抗生素耐药谱。2017 年 11 月至 2018 年 4 月，从卡塔尔的三家连锁超市共采集了 270 份零售生鸡胴体（本地和进口）。30 份胴体受到 污染（11.11%）。本地生产的鸡肉中 的流行率高于进口鸡肉（OR=2.56，95%CI：1.18-5.53，=0.016）。在患病率与储存温度或超市连锁店之间未发现显著差异。分离株的最高耐药率报告为四环素（73.7%），其次为呋喃妥因（53.3%）、氨苄西林（50%）、阿莫西林-克拉维酸、头孢曲松（26.7%）和环丙沙星（23.3%）。8 株分离物为潜在的扩展型β-内酰胺酶生产者，均为进口冷冻鸡（<0.0001）。此外，43.3%的分离物为多药耐药，与冷冻鸡有关（OR=16.88，95%CI：2.55-111.47，=0.002）。研究结果表明，虽然卡塔尔零售鸡肉中 的流行率适中，但其中很大一部分为多药耐药。
