Abstract: The study of Antimicrobial Resistance Profiling of E. coli is paramount during Production of Laying Chicken due to potential economic implications to the poultry industry. The overuse of antibiotics in poultry production has caused antimicrobial resistance(AMR), leading to ineffective treatment of infectious diseases and death. The objective of the study was to isolate and identify, to determine the prevalence of E. coli spp from laying chicken production, and to examine the antimicrobial sensitivity rates and resistance patterns from the selected antibiotics. A cross- sectional study was carried out and STATA software was used for data analysis. The findings of the study revealed that E. colispp were present in 95% of the 200 samples that tested positive, while the remaining 5% tested negative. There were 287 isolates identified from 200 cloaca swabs with Escherichia coli spp., 171 (59.6%). Escherichia coli spp. isolates, showed 78.2% sensitivity to Ciprofloxacin, 73.4% to Ofloxacin, 71.8 % to Sparfloxacin, and 70.9% to Pefloxacin. E. coli spp found to be resistant to Septrin (73.4%), Streptomycin (65.4%), and other antibiotics (63.7%). At least 31 MDR patterns were obtained during the antibiotic susceptibility testing presumed to be due to the misused of antibiotics.
