Article Synopsis
- - Bacterial resistance to antimicrobials, particularly resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is a growing concern globally, especially in developing countries like Uganda, where the extent of this issue is not well understood.
- - A study conducted in Kamuli and Isingiro districts aimed to determine the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant S. aureus in both humans and cattle, alongside evaluating farmers' awareness and practices regarding antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
- - Results showed low prevalence rates of S. aureus in cattle (9.5%) and humans (30.6%), with high levels of resistance to certain antibiotics like Nitroimidazoles and Penicillins; significant rates of multidrug resistance were found in both groups, emphasizing a
Background: Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) are among the leading global foodborne pathogens and a significant public health threat. Their occurrence in animal reservoirs and their susceptibilities to commonly used antimicrobials are poorly understood in developing countries. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence, determine antimicrobial susceptibility and identify risk factors associated with NTS presence in laying hen farms in Uganda through a cross-sectional study.
