Abstract
Eschericia coli contamination was found on egg powder imported to Indonesia during microbialexamination. The study was conducted to describe the presence of E. coli and its resistance to antibioticsin egg powder imported to Indonesia through The port of Tanjung Priok. Samples was determined usingcross sectional study and the sample size was calculated based on assumption of confidence level of 95%with margin of error of 10% and predicted prevalence of 50%. Total of 100 egg powder samples wascollected in August 2014 from two exporting countries, Ukraine (whole egg powder, n=30) and India (wholeegg powder, n=40 and egg yolk powder, n=30). Examination was performed by packaging and label inspectionof the product followed by samples collection and testing for bacterial contamination using rapid test andconventional isolation and identification methods. Detected E. coli was isolated and then tested forantibiotic resistance. Examination results showed that 4 samples were positive to E. coli. E. coli isolatesshowed resistance against 6 types of antibiotics and 75% of the isolates had resistance against minimumof 3 types of antibiotics. These conditions should be taken into consideration since antibiotic resistance inE. coli would cause negative impacts on human, animal and environmental health.

Summary
Telur adalah bahan pangan asal hewan yang memiliki kandungan nutrisi yang dibutuhkan oleh manusia. Kondisi tersebut mengakibatkan perlakuan berupa pasteurisasi setiap kali telur digunakan sebagai bahan baku bukan menjadi pilihan yang efisien dan ekonomis. Escherichia coli telah dilaporkan sebagai salah satu jenis bakteri yang dapat ditemukan pada telur meskipun telah dilakukan perlakuan pemanasan (Botka-Petrak et al, 2000). Kejadian cemaran E. coli pada telur telah banyak dilaporkan baik pada tingkat peternakan, pada telur konsumsi, maupun pada produk olahan yang menggunakan telur sebagai bahan baku (Botka-Petrak et al, 2000; Oh et al, 2011; Jones et al, 2012: Grizard et al, 2014). Khususnya E. coli untuk bersifat resisten terhadap penggunaan senyawa antibiotik tentunya menimbulkan masalah yang besar bagi manusia, hewan, dan lingkungan (Diarra et al, 2007; Machado et al, 2008; Venturini et al, 2010; Sahoo et al, 2012). Isolat E. coli yang diuji berasal dari temuan pada proses pemeriksaan cemaran bakteri terhadap sampel tepung telur terkait tindakan karantina yang dilakukan
