Overview

This investigation uncovers high prevalence of AMR Salmonella and E. coli in the beef production chain in Kandy District, emphasizing urgent health implications.

Key Points

  • High levels of AMR and multidrug resistant strains of E. coli were found in beef production environments.
  • 88.89% of beef samples were contaminated with Salmonella and 44.44% with E. coli, indicating significant contamination.
  • Surveillance included 44 bovine manure samples and 40 wastewater samples from farms in Kandy District.
  • The findings suggest a need for effective control measures to address contamination during the beef production chain.
