Abstract.
In the last few years, multidrug resistant bacteria increased significantly and contaminated chicken carcass through production chain.
This study identified the presence of ESBL/AmpC-producing Enterobactericeae collected from the environment of chicken Samples were taken before slaughtering process from several points of determined locations.
From a total of 84 samples tested, 30 isolates were positive of Enterobactericeae comprising of 22 isolates of coli, 6 isolates of Klebsiella oxytoca, and 1 isolate of Kluyvera spp.
Confirmation test of ESBL/AmpC phenotypic and antibiotic resistant test to 18 kinds of antibiotics were conducted using MASTDISCS D68C commercial kit and Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion susceptibility test with CLSI 2014 interpretation.
All of isolates showed resistance to penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, cefotaxime, cefpodoxime, ceftazidime and some isolates showed resistance to streptomycin, gentamicin, trimethoprim-sulphametoxasol, tetracycline, kanamycin, doxycyclin, colistin sulphate, cephalothin, neomycin, and polymyxin B.
This study demonstrated the existence of ESBL/AmpC-producing Enterobactericeae that were found on the carcasses container, offal container, floors of carcasses, offal handling area, knives and feathers puller machine.
The existence of resistant bacteria in the environment of chicken slaughterhouse can lead to occurrence of antibiotic resistant and transmission of resistance genes to other bacteria that could spread to the carcass that was potentially harmful to humans.

INTRODUCTION
Multidrug resistance (MDR) bacteria found clinically are ESBL-producing Enterobactericeae, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE).
The third group of resistant bacteria is not only present in the hospital environment but also on a poultry farm, chicken carcasses, and other dairy products.
Therefore, the spread of MDR bacteria outside the hospital environment has been a serious problem for more than five years.
The most likely transmission route for MDR bacteria is from animals to humans through food, especially chicken carcasses and other poultry products Jurnal Pengelolaan Sumber Daya Alam dan Lingkungan 12.

ESBL-producing Enterobactericeae bacteria that commonly spread at the farm level will be carried and spread on the level of the slaughterhouse.
Several studies have examined the existence of Enterobactericeae producing ESBL/AmpC on chicken carcasses, but there is still a lack of research data that detects the presence of resistant bacteria in the environment of chicken slaughterhouses that may allow cross-contamination to chicken carcasses.
ESBL genes located on a plasmid can be easily transferred between and among species of bacteria (Overdevest et al.
The main resistance mechanisms that need concern are the production of extendedspectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) enzyme and plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamase group Enterobacteriaceae bacteria.
This enzyme has the ability to hydrolyze and inactivate beta-lactam antibiotics, and further resistance is associated with resistance to other antibiotic groupssuch as fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.
Previous research has reported the presence of ESBL-producing E.
coli bacteria in animals throughout the world (Costa et al.
Egervarn et al.
and in chicken feces taken from slaughterhouses (Masruroh 2.
Therefore, the purpose of this study was to detect the presence of ESBL/AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae (E.

The samples included swab from the floor in carcass and offal handling area, a container of carcasses, containers of offals, knives, a feathers puller machine, and samples from water tank and tap The total number of samples was 84 samples.

In most surveillance, there are mentioned pathogenic bacteria and antimicrobial resistance.
However, data on the number and mode of transmission by non-pathogenic bacteria carrying antimicrobial resistance determinants are still very rare, such as Kluyvera spp.
Bacteria of Kluyvera spp.

It is quite a n alarming finding because of the potential to bring and spread resistant genes to pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria around its environment.

Excessive and improper use of antibiotics from a chicken farm level and can then be spreadable to poultry abattoir.
Antibiotics are widely available for free use without a prescription, including the use of the most common is a third- generation cephalosporin in combination with other antibiotics.
The owner of a poultry farm also frequently uses antibiotics as growth promoters as well as disease prevention by using broad-spectrum antibiotics, for example, tetracycline, ampicillin, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, and trimethoprim (Been et al.
Lack of knowledge regarding good farming practices, education, and free sale of antibiotics are the cause of irrational use.
The author also believes that the bad management in poultry abattoir and the waste can be one cause of the spread of these bacteria into the environment.
In southeast Asia is still lacking attention to waste compared with western countries, for example, in Bangladesh and India, the slaughterhouse rarely have sewage treatment facilities such as incinerators (Shrivastav et al.
Furthermore, the effluent from the slaughterhouse to flow into the river without any specific treatment, where animals around birds, cats, dogs, and the surrounding environment also become agents of the spreader ESBL/AmpC- producing bacteria to other environmental areas.
Wild animals and birds have been reported to be carriers and spreaders of multi-resistant bacteria (Bonnedahl et al.
In general, the resistance gene transfer occurs through three mechanisms, namely transformation, conjugation, and transduction.
Antibiotic resistance problem mostly comes from horizontal gene transfer between species of bacteria.
This mechanism is known to be more efficient for bacteria to adapt to environmental changes than random mutations.
Transformation (Marshall et al.
and conjugation (Hammerum et al.
is the most frequent transfer route.
The transfer of antibiotic resistance genes to bacteria pathogenic commensal bacteria depends on the density of the donor and recipient bacteria, the availability of transfer mechanism, nutrition, and selective pressure.
The speed in the discovery of new antibiotics is slower than the speed of emergence of resistance,which raises the concern that one day no longer available sensitive antibiotics for infection by resistant bacteria.
The whole isolates of Enterobacteriaceae have been detected and showed resistance to the antibiotic cefotaxime, so it is assumed that these bacteria is encoded by CTX-M.
This gene is able to hydrolyze cefotaxime compared with the substrate oxymino other -lactams such as ceftazidime, or cefepime ceftriaxone.
Multidrug-resistant pathogens flourish rapidly and become a critical problem in many cases of infectious diseases.
CONCLUSION
The isolates of ESBL/AmpC producing Enterobactericeae have shown resistance against all antibiotics.
Some of isolates also showed multidrug resistance.
It is quite alarming because of the potential to spread resistant genes to pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria around its environment.
