This study aimed to evaluate the persistence (i) of two fluoroquinolones, enrofloxacin (ENR) and ciprofloxacin (CIP), and (ii) of CIP-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in soil after poultry manure application. The amounts of ENR and CIP in soil did not significantly change over the 48 day- experimental period. CIP (≤ 30 μg kg-1) was detected in weaker concentrations than ENR (20 to 250 μg kg-1 of soil). The concentration of Enterobacteriaceae (102-103 CFU g-1) did not significantly decrease until Day 36. A total of 145 isolates were identified as belonging to E. coli and to 6 genera. The ciprofloxacin MIC of E. coli reached 32 mg L-1 whereas the other strains of Enterobacteriaceae had a MIC ≤ 0.25 mg L-1. The 71 strains of E. coli were classified in 12 ERIC-PCR genotypes. One genotype, corresponding to a resistant strain, was detected until Day 89. This study showed that enrofloxacin and CIP-resistant E. coli persisted at least 48 and 89 days, respectively, in soil. However, their presence did not increase the MIC of Enterobacteriaceae originating from soil.
