Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to establish epidemiological cut-off values for the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 10 antimicrobial agents against the bacteria Vibrio parahaemolyticus using standardized testing methods.
- Eight laboratories conducted broth microdilution tests at two different temperatures (35°C and 28°C) to assess the effect of incubation temperature on MIC values, finding that many values were consistent across both temperatures.
- The generated data will be submitted to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute to help set international standards for interpreting antimicrobial susceptibility tests for this species.
The surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in commensal from livestock at slaughter is widely employed to assess the potential for risk to humans. There is currently a limited understanding of AMR in Bangladesh poultry at retail in live bird markets, with studies focussing solely on phenotypic characterisation of resistance. To address this evidence gap we performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing and whole genome sequencing on obtained from chickens from live bird markets in Dhaka in 2018 ( = 38) and 2020 ( = 45).
