In vitro testing of the some antibiotics efficiency on some E. coli strains isolated from avian farms

For broiler chickens, a major mortality cause on the entire exploitation period is represented by the collibacilar infections, which need a correct and efficient treatment. The mortality in 94 broiler chickens was studied, between three and thirty days of age, from four avian farms from Satu-Mare county, isolating and identifying 32 Escherichia coli strains in pure culture. The testing of sensitivity to antibiotics of the isolated germs was made through the difusimethric method, revealing a decreased efficiency to Oxitetracyclin, Amoxicyllin and Erithromycin, while in the case of Amoxicyllin + Clavulanic acid, Florfenicol and Gentamycin a good sensitivity was observed.
