Article Synopsis
- The One Health (OH) approach to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is gaining recognition, but there’s a lack of clear guidance on implementing effective surveillance across different sectors.
- In Nepal, the Tricycle Project utilized a multi-stage method to collect samples from humans, poultry, and wastewater to assess the prevalence of ESBL-producing bacteria.
- The study found the highest prevalence of ESBL-producing bacteria in wastewater (91%), followed by bloodstream infections in humans (49%), poultry (38.6%), and healthy pregnant women (15%), leading to important insights for improving waste disposal and AMR control strategies.
