Overview

Study reports 41.6% of Salmonella in poultry droppings show antimicrobial resistance, suggesting serious health risks.

Key Points

  • 6 out of 12 chicken droppings yielded salmonella species, highlighting the prevalence of drug-resistant strains.
  • The most common serovar identified was S. typhimurium, with a 60% isolation rate among collected samples.
  • Isolation and classification were conducted using Salmonella Shigella agar and Brilliant Green agar, followed by testing for antimicrobial resistance.
  • The findings underline public health concerns due to high antibiotic resistance rates in zoonotic salmonella strains.
