Abstract: CAUNAN, MAMICIIERIS P. Prevalence and Antibiotic Sensitivity Profile of Escherichia coil in the Feces of Piglets (Sus scrofa domesticus) from Selected Backyard Farms in Cavite, Philippines. Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2016. Adviser: Dr. Ma. Cynthia N. Rundina-Dela Cruz. A total of 108 pre-weaning piglets regardless of health status from selected backyard farms in Cavite, Philippines were used in this study. Based on the morphological, cultural and biochemical characterization, 20.4% (22/108) of the samples were positive for E. coli, with 1.8% (2/22) being hemolytic. These hemolytic E. coil were recovered from both diarrheic and clinically healthy piglets sampled. Evaluation of antibiotic sensitivity profile of the isolates revealed that 100% of E. co/i isolates were susceptible to amikacin. On the other hand, the isolates showed resistance to the following antibiotics: ampicillin (100%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (63.6%) and tetracycline (59.1%). Intermediate susceptibility to kanamycin was observed in 91% (20/22) of the isolates, while the remaining 9% (2/22) showed resistance to this drug. Six different antibiotic resistance patterns were recorded and the A-T-TS (ampicillin-tetracycline-trirnethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) was the most common resistance pattern, observed in 10 (45.5%) of the E. coil isolates. Overall, 11 (50%) isolates were determined to be multidrug resistant.
