ABSTRACT
Campylobacteriosis is the most frequent etiological form in a structure of acute intestinal infections, species of Campylobacter spp. which are the main food pathogens. In Ukraine, the distribution of emergency campylobacter has not been researched. This article describes conditions for active monitoring of Campylobacter spp. antimicrobial resistance, selection and research of 2,120 samples of cecal contents from cattle, pigs, and poultry. The samples were analyzed by a microbiological method for the detection of Campylobacter according to the scheme of accumulation, isolation, isolation and identification according to DSTU ISO 10272-1:2007. As a result, 33 isolates of Campylobacter spp. were isolated, which is 1.6% of the total number of the researched samples. The most common phenotypes of antimicrobial resistance of the selected isolates were: Cip / Tet / Ery - 14 isolates from poultry, which accounted for 42.42%. Tet / Ery - 4 isolates from poultry (12.12%), Cip / Tet - 1 isolate from poultry (3.03%), Cip / Ery - 1 isolate from pigs (3.03%). The presence multidrug resistant (MDR) Campylobacter isolates obtained from broilers indicates dangerous uncontrolled use of antibiotics in poultry farming. The article highlights the potential health hazard to consumers posed by the presence of Campylobacter jejuni in industrial poultry and poultry products, as well as its resistance to various antibiotics. The study also reports a high rate of detection of resistant Campylobacter spp. among agricultural animals and the population in Ukraine, necessitating the introduction of an effective strategy for systematic monitoring of campylobacteriosis. Research results showed a high rate of detection of resistant Campylobacter spp. in Ukraine, circulating both among agricultural animals and among the population. Such monitoring can help regulate and contain the occurrence of food zoonoses and mitigate their impact on consumers of agricultural products.
