<div>Background: Mastitis is a problem of dairy animals including buffaloes. Treatment failure has become a common problem and the most cited reason is antibiotic resistance. The paper presents the scenario of antibiotic resistance with special reference to multi drug resistance pattern.&nbsp; 
 
Methods: Microbiological assay of mastitis affected 48 milk samples was carried out using standard protocols to establish the prevalence of mastitis caused by E. coli and S. aureus. Antibiotic sensitivity test was carried out against these organisms and the whole milk culture for commonly used antibiotics. The drug resistance pattern was established. 
 
Result: The overall prevalence of mastitis was 20%. The prevalence of E. coli and S. aureus was 29.17% and 54.17% respectively. The antibiotic sensitivity revealed that E.coli isolates were 100% susceptible to tetracycline, gentamicin, enrofloxacin and streptopenicillin followed by Ceftriaxone and sulbactum combination and streptomycin (92.86%) and ceftriaxone and methicillin (85.71%). The isolates of S. aureus were 100% sensitive to only two antibiotics gentamicin and streptopenicillin. The antibiogram of whole milk culture revealed maximum susceptibility to enrofloxacin, gentamicin and streptopeniciliin (95.83% each). Multiple drug resistance has been observed in this study.</div>

​Multidrug-resistance Pattern of Antibiogram of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Mastitis Affected Buffaloes in Eastern Uttar Pradesh

<div>Background: Antibiotics are widely used in animals and human for treatment without referring an antibiogram that resulted into the proliferation of ESBL producing strains. Nowadays resistance to &beta;-lactam groups of antibiotic is expanding rapidly worldwide and threatening the public healthcare due to limited treatment options. Therefore this study aimed to detect ESBL resistance genes in E. coli and Klebsiella spp. isolated from various sources of cattle in this area of study.&nbsp; 
 
Methods: Total 240 samples were collected during August, 2019 to June, 2020, from two districts of Eastern plain zone of Uttar Pradesh. E. coli and Klebsiella spp. isolates were confirmed using uidA and 16S rRNA gene respectively. In vitro antibiotic sensitivity test was performed using disc diffusion method. ESBL producing isolates was confirmed by DDST, ESBL E-strip and PCR analysis by targeting (bla-CTX-M-1, bla-CTX-M-9, bla-TEM and bla-SHV) genes. 
 
Result: PCR analysis of these isolates confirmed 135(56.25%) as E. coli and 16(6.67%) as Klebsiella spp. Antibiotics found to be most resistant were ampicillin (89.40%) followed by cefotaxime (72.18%), cefpodoxime (71.52%), ceftriaxone (66.9%), aztreonam (61.0%) and ceftazidime (54.30%). Total 101(66.88%) isolates were confirmed as ESBL producers using DDST and 92(60.92%) by ESBL E-strip test. ESBL genes were detected in 87(57.61%) isolates by PCR analysis and among them, bla-CTX-M-1 was found most dominant gene.</div>
