This study investigated the presence of specific bacteria in humans and birds in Baghdad, finding notably higher prevalence in birds (73.17%) compared to humans (20%).
Various antibiotic resistance patterns were noted, with many bird isolates showing multidrug resistance (MDR) and high Multiple Antibiotic Resistance (MAR) indices.
The research highlighted concerning trends in biofilm production, indicating a potential healthcare problem due to the combination of high MDR strains and weak biofilm formation in human samples.
