Overview

Study demonstrates shared antibiotic resistance genes in Escherichia coli from poultry and humans, suggesting zoonotic transmission pathways.

Key Points

  • Shared antimicrobial resistance genes were detected in E. coli isolates from poultry and human sources, indicating a zoonotic risk.
  • Of tested samples, 15% were positive for E. coli, with the highest detection rate of 40% in human stool samples.
  • Resistance to multiple antibiotics was confirmed, notably against erythromycin, but greater sensitivity was observed with colistin and fosfomycin.
  • Findings highlight the public health implications of avian E. coli, linking it to drug-resistant infections in humans and economic losses in poultry.
