Prevalence, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Resistance of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing from Domestic Free-Range Poultry in Agogo, Ghana.

Poultry has been suggested as an important source for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria that can lead to difficult-to treat infections in humans. Therefore, this study aims to determine the frequency, the genetics, and antimicrobial resistance profiles of ESBL-producing in domestic free-range poultry in Agogo, Ghana. The study was set up and piloted from January 2019 until June 2019.

Antibiotic-resistant and in commercial and smallholder farm animals in the Asante Akim North Municipality of Ghana.

Worldwide, farm animals, in particular poultry, are an important reservoir for spp. However, information on colonization in farm animals in Africa is scarce. Hence, this cross-sectional study determined antibiotic-resistant from both commercial and smallholder farm animals in the Asante Akim North Municipality of Ghana.
