Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how antibiotic use in poultry farming contributes to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the surrounding soil, posing a risk to human health.
- - Researchers collected 1,200 soil samples from areas close to and far from poultry farms, finding significantly higher rates of antibiotic resistance in samples taken within 25 meters of the farms.
- - Results indicate that bacteria near poultry farms exhibit elevated resistance, particularly ESBL (Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase) production, highlighting the environmental impact of antibiotic use in agriculture.
Purpose: Drug resistance against antimicrobials is on the rise at alarmingly high rates. is one of the six ESKAPE pathogens which are a significant "one health" issue. Clinical isolates of exhibit MDR phenotype mostly and infrequently the XDR and PDR phenotype.
