| description | Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat for human and animal health. Few studies have been carried out in laying hens. We evaluated the antimicrobial susceptibility of commensal <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i>, <i>Escherichia coli</i>, and <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> isolates in Spanish laying hens in 2018. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was used to identify any AMR of the studied isolates by means of a broth microdilution method. <i>C. jejuni</i> was highly resistant to the B category antimicrobials, and 52% of the isolates were susceptible to all the antimicrobials tested. <i>E. coli</i> showed medium and high percentages of resistance to the B and A antibiotic categories, respectively, and 33.33% of the isolates were susceptible to all antimicrobials. The <i>E. faecalis</i> resistance to A category antimicrobials was variable, and 4.62% of the isolates were susceptible to all antimicrobials. In our work, novel data on AMR in laying hen commensal isolates in Spain is provided, and the AMR levels differ from those reported for poultry in the EU. A high resistance to key drugs for human medicine was found, representing a public health risk. |
