%X Resistant bacteria can be transmitted to humans through feces or contaminated meat from local chickens. Bacterial strains were isolated from the intestinal contents of 400 local chicken samples from various sales sites. These strains were then characterized using bacteriological and biochemical methods to identify resistant strains. In a study conducted in Ouagadougou, we systematically collected chicken fecal samples from 20 locations across the city, followed by isolation and identification of <i>Salmonella</i><i> </i>spp. using specific enrichment and culture methods, as well as <i>Escherichia coli</i>. Bacterial strains were characterized using antibiotic resistance profiles were determined through agar diffusion tests, revealing sensitivity or resistance to a range of antibiotics based on established scientific criteria. The results showed that out of the 400 samples collected, 81.25% and 63.5% were contaminated by <i>Escherichia coli</i><i> </i>and <i>Salmonella</i><i> </i>spp.,<i> </i>respectively. Among these, 86.15% of identified <i>Esch</i><i>e</i><i>richia coli</i><i> </i>and 50.78% of <i>Salmonella</i> spp. displayed resistance to at least one tested antibiotic. Among 280 <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolates identified resistant to at least one antibiotic, 31.07% were resistant to cefotaxime (CTX), 20.35% to ceftazidime (CAZ), 21.07% to ceftriaxone (CTR), 75% to amoxicillin   clavulanic acid (AMC), 23.57% aztreoname (ATM) and 27.14% were resistant to imipenem (IMP). In the case of the 129 <i>Salmonella</i><i> </i>spp. isolates resistant to at least one tested antibiotic, 34.88% were resistant to CTX; 41.08% to CAZ; 35.65% to CTR, 92% to AMC, 39.53% to ATM and finally 47.28% were resistant to IMP. Our study revealed high prevalence of resistance in bacterial strains isolated from local chickens sold outdoors in Ouagadougou. These findings raise significant public health concerns, due to the possible transmission of these resistant strains to humans through the consumption of contaminated meat, thus complicating the treatment of bacterial infections.
