05 5-Fluoracil Colistin 10.79 ± 0.265 11.00 ± 0.302 p > 0.05 MAR index of the isolated Campylobacter spp. are shown in Table 2. Every isolates were resistant to at least one of the antimicrobials used in this study. Moreover, 92.6% of the total isolates were resistant to more than one and 77.8% of the isolates were resistant to
more than two antibiotics. C. coli (85.7%) showed greater multiple antibiotic (more than two) resistance as compared to C. jejuni (50%). 22% of the isolates had MAR index between 0.1 and 0.2 and 77.8% of the isolates have MAR index greater than 0.2. The most common multiple antibiotic resistant pattern was ery-amp (85%). {Selleck Anti-diabetic Compound Library|Selleck Antidiabetic Compound Library|Selleck Anti-diabetic Compound Library|Selleck Antidiabetic Compound Library|Selleckchem Anti-diabetic Compound Library|Selleckchem Antidiabetic Compound Library|Selleckchem Anti-diabetic Compound Library|Selleckchem Antidiabetic Compound Library|Anti-diabetic Compound Library|Antidiabetic Compound Library|Anti-diabetic Compound Library|Antidiabetic Compound Library|Anti-diabetic Compound Library|Antidiabetic Compound Library|Anti-diabetic Compound Library|Antidiabetic Compound Library|Anti-diabetic Compound Library|Antidiabetic Compound Library|Anti-diabetic Compound Library|Antidiabetic Compound Library|Anti-diabetic Compound Library|Antidiabetic Compound Library|Anti-diabetic Compound Library|Antidiabetic Compound Library|Anti-diabetic Compound Library|Antidiabetic Compound Library|buy Anti-diabetic Compound Library|Anti-diabetic Compound Library ic50|Anti-diabetic Compound Library price|Anti-diabetic Compound Library cost|Anti-diabetic Compound Library solubility dmso|Anti-diabetic Compound Library purchase|Anti-diabetic Compound Library manufacturer|Anti-diabetic Compound Library research buy|Anti-diabetic Compound Library order|Anti-diabetic Compound Library mouse|Anti-diabetic Compound Library chemical structure|Anti-diabetic Compound Library mw|Anti-diabetic Compound Library molecular weight|Anti-diabetic Compound Library datasheet|Anti-diabetic Compound Library supplier|Anti-diabetic Compound Library in vitro|Anti-diabetic Compound Library cell line|Anti-diabetic Compound Library concentration|Anti-diabetic Compound Library nmr|Anti-diabetic Compound Library in vivo|Anti-diabetic Compound Library clinical trial|Anti-diabetic Compound Library cell assay|Anti-diabetic Compound Library screening|Anti-diabetic Compound Library high throughput|buy Antidiabetic Compound Library|Antidiabetic Compound Library ic50|Antidiabetic Compound Library price|Antidiabetic Compound Library cost|Antidiabetic Compound Library solubility dmso|Antidiabetic Compound Library purchase|Antidiabetic Compound Library manufacturer|Antidiabetic Compound Library research buy|Antidiabetic Compound Library order|Antidiabetic Compound Library chemical structure|Antidiabetic Compound Library datasheet|Antidiabetic Compound Library supplier|Antidiabetic Compound Library in vitro|Antidiabetic Compound Library cell line|Antidiabetic Compound Library concentration|Antidiabetic Compound Library clinical trial|Antidiabetic Compound Library cell assay|Antidiabetic Compound Library screening|Antidiabetic Compound Library high throughput|Anti-diabetic Compound high throughput screening| Table 2 Multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) indices of C. coli and C. jejuni MAR index Percentage frequency of MAR index (%) C. coli C. jejuni 0 0 0 0.1 7.1 8.3 0.2 7.1 41.7 0.3 21.4 0 0.4 7.1 8.3 0.5 0 0 0.6 28.6 0 0.7 21.4 41.7 0.8 7.1 0 0.9 0 0 1 0 0 Different factors that influence the prevalence of Campylobacters in pork is shown in Table 3.

In this study, we found the prevalence of Campylobacter spp. in pork meat of 38.85%. This is higher than that previously found in New Zealand (9.1%) [19] and Italy (10.3%) Baricitinib [20], similar to that reported in one 2003 US study (33%) [18], but lower than more recent US study of dressed rib meat (49%) [22] at US. It is also significantly lower than the prevalence rate of 67% found in slaughtered pigs in Tanzania [21]. These differences may be due to slaughtering practices, antibiotic usage, or intrinsic carriage rates. Some of the differences in prevalence rates may also reflect differences in methods used to culture the Campylobacter. This study has also shown higher prevalence rate of C. coli than that of C. jejuni in pork which is supported by many other research like von Alrock et al. in 2012 (C. coli 76% and C. jejuni 24%) [23] and Jonker in 2009 (C. coli 83.3% and C. jejuni 17.7%) [24].
