This Study Focus On Identifying The Antibiotic Resistance In The Environmental Bacteria In Poultry Farms That Complement 'One Health'. Understanding The Prevalence Of Antimicrobial Resistance In Environmental Bacteria Within Poultry Farms Is Essential For Assessing The Risks Posed To Human And Animal Health, As Well As For Developing Effective Strategies To Mitigate AMR Emergence And Dissemination. Additionally, Studying The Dynamics Of Antimicrobial Resistance In Poultry Farm Environments Can Provide Insights Into The Complex Interplay Between Agricultural Practices, Environmental Factors, And Microbial Ecology.The Objectives Of This Study Includes To Identify Antibiotic Resistance Of Bacterial Strains Isolated In Soil And Effluent Samples Due To Poultry Farming Activities,to Quantify Total Bacterial Count In The Soil And Effluent Samples, To Determine On Antibiotic Resistance Rate Of The Bacteria And To Determine The Multiple Antibiotic Resistance (MAR) Indexing Of The Bacteria. Soil And Effluent Samples Were Collected By Trained Personnel From 33 Poultry Farms That Were Registered Under The Department Of Veterinary Services, Selangor, Malaysia. Isolation And Enumeration Of Bacteria Were Performed Using The Spread Plate Method. The VITEK 2 Card (bioMérieux, Nürtingen, Germany) Was Used For Bacterial Identification, Whereas The VITEK 2 AST Susceptibility Card (bioMérieux) Was Used To Determine The MICs Of The Isolates.
