Spread of resistance was examined during the period of six months: 480 samples of chicken liver and carcasses swabs were taken from seven abattoirs. Presence of Salmonella spp. was found in 69 samples (14.37%) and Campylobacter spp. was found in 158 samples (32.92%). Intermediate susceptibility or resistance to one or more antimicrobial drugs were found in 28 (40.58%) isolates of Salmonella spp., and in 119 (75.32%) isolates of Campilobacter spp. According to our research, prevalence of resistance in most common zoonotic pathogens transferred by chicken meat, alarming data was found. Application of prophylactic and sanitary measures in facilities, abattoirs and during meat processing, may considerably reduce risk from the incidence of resistant zoonotic bacteria. Besides preventive measures, the problem of pathogen resistance demands introduction of integral control system in the primary production chain. Organised surveillance system can provide control of distribution and application of antimicrobial drugs as well as carrying out adequate resistance monitoring programme.
