Article Synopsis
- Poultry serves as a significant source of Salmonella enterica serotype Infantis (S. Infantis), which is linked to foodborne illness outbreaks and shows resistance to multiple antibiotics.
- A study conducted in Lima, Peru, from 2022-2023 found S. Infantis in 10.1% of bird livers, 4.7% of litter, and 8% of carcass samples, with all isolates resistant to nalidixic acid and many showing resistance to common antibiotics like tetracycline and amoxicillin.
- Most of the isolates (93.9%) exhibited multidrug resistance, posing serious risks to food safety and public health.
