Popis: The aim of the current study is to assess the prevalence ofCampylobacterinfection in broiler chickens, raised in intensive production conditions, and to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility of recoveredCampylobacterisolates. A total of 590 cloacal swab samples were taken from 13 broiler chicken flocks in the North East of Tunisia. All samples were tested for the presence of thermophilicCampylobacterby culture and PCR, targeting themapAandceuEgenes, respectively. Susceptibility to antimicrobial drugs was tested against 8 antibiotics. Prevalence ofCampylobacterinfection, relationship with geographic origins and seasons, antimicrobial resistance rates and patterns were analyzed. Total prevalence ofCampylobacterinfection in broiler flocks was in the range of 22.4%, with a predominance ofC. jejuni(68.9%), followed byC. coli(31.1%). Positive association was highlighted between the infection level and the season (P< 0.001), but no link was emphasized considering the geographic origin. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed very high resistance rates detected against macrolide, tetracycline, quinolones, and chloramphenicol, ranging from 88.6% to 100%. Lower resistance prevalence was noticed forβ-lactams (47% and 61.4%) and gentamicin (12.9%). 17 R-type patterns were observed, and a common pattern was found in 30.3% of isolates. This study provides updates and novel data on the prevalence and the AMR of broiler campylobacters in Tunisia, revealing the occurrence of high resistance to several antibiotics and emphasizing the requirement of better surveillance and careful regulation of antimicrobials use.
