Approximately 30% of pigeons were infected with T. gallinae, highlighting the prevalence of this infection in the region.
K. pneumoniae isolates showed multidrug resistance to key antibiotics, including ampicillin and aminoglycosides.
Infected pigeons exhibited greater oral bacterial diversity compared to uninfected ones, indicating significant microbial shifts.
Molecular testing confirmed the presence of resistance genes in K. pneumoniae, emphasizing antibiotic resistance risk in farm settings.
