Abstract

This study investigated the carriage of blaCTX-M, blaTEM and blaSHV gene in Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterals from poultry in peri-urban area of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. From June to November 2023, fresh fecal samples were collected from 37 consenting poultry farms in four peri-urban areas around Ouagadougou. These samples were cultured to isolate ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species. The isolates were then examined for the presence of blaCTX-M, blaTEM, and blaSHV genes and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns. Out of the 37 poultry samples, 27 ESBL-producing bacteria were recovered; 48.64% (18/37) were ESBL-producing E. coli (16 blaCTX-M genes, 8 blaTEM genes, 2 blaSHV genes) and 27.02% (10/37) were Klebsiella spp. (10 blaCTX-M genes, 8 blaSHV genes, 5 blaTEM genes). Co-carriage of blaCTX-M/TEM, blaCTX-M/SHV, and blaTEM/SHV, high resistance rates to tetracycline and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and multi-drug resistance (MDR) phenotypes were observed among the ESBL-producing bacteria isolated in this study. The findings indicate the widespread presence of ESBL-producing bacteria in poultry farms in Burkina Faso, highlighting a potential public health risk.
