This analysis reveals high antimicrobial resistance and genetic diversity in duck-derived salmonella strains, suggesting urgent public health implications.
Key Points
High antimicrobial resistance was observed in duck-derived salmonella isolates, with a significant prevalence of multidrug resistance.
The study identified 14 serotypes, with S. Typhimurium and S. Indiana being the most prevalent among 114 isolates.
Molecular epidemiological techniques, including PFGE, uncovered substantial genetic diversity among the strains studied.
These findings highlight the pressing need for enhanced surveillance and control measures to mitigate public health risks from salmonella.
