Overview

Analysis of antibiotic-resistant Enterobacterales in chicken viscera reveals high contamination rates, indicating potential foodborne disease risks.

Key Points

  • Results indicated 100% resistance of Enterobacterales to tetracycline and erythromycin, posing significant health risks.
  • From 200 samples, Salmonella spp. showed the highest frequency at 44%, followed by E. coli at 36% and Klebsiella spp. at 30%.
  • Enterobacterales isolation frequently occurred in chicken intestines, highlighting a key contamination site.
  • The study reveals the presence of multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales in chicken viscera, stressing a need for better food safety measures.
