Abstract: DE CASTRO, RENZI OWELL V. ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVITY PROFILE OF Escherichia coli 0157 ISOLATES IN THE FECES OF NATIVE PIGS (Sus scrofa) FROM SELECTED TOWNS OF CAVITE. Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2014. Adviser : Dr. Maria Cynthia Rundina-Dela Cruz, DVM. This study was conducted to test the antibiotic sensitivity profile of Escherichia coli 0157 isolated from the feces of native pigs within the province of Cavite. Morphological characterization, biochemical reactions and the prevalence rate of the organism on native pigs were also determined. Sixty native pigs from Indang, Silang, Trece Martirez and General Trias, Cavite were collected for fecal swabs. Samples were cultured and were tested biochemically for the isolation of Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). The presence of the 0157 antigen and H7 antigen were determined through serology. Positive samples were then subjected for antibiotic sensitivity testing using the antibiotics; Cenavisa®, Fosbac®, Avimex®, Clarithromycin, Erythromycin, Cotrimoxazole and Ciprofloxacin. Results showed the isolation of two out of sixty samples (3.33%) resulted positive for the presence of the 0157 antigen. The antibiotic tests results confirmed the susceptibility of the E. coli 0157 to antibiotics not commonly used in farm productions such as Fosfomycin, Ciprofloxacin and Erythromycin, and were found to be resistant to Clarithromycin, Erythromycin which were widely used in farming.
