Why this research matters now
The elevated resistance rates to conventional treatments underscore the importance of enhanced farm biosecurity and prudent antibiotic stewardship to limit resistance accumulation in food animal environments.
Structured evidence summary
Research question
What is the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profile of Salmonella isolates in commercial poultry operations, and which antibiotics remain effective?
Study design
Cross-sectional observational analysis of bacterial isolates collected over a two-year period using microbiological, biochemical, molecular, and susceptibility testing methodologies.
Population and setting
Two commercial poultry farms sampled between 2024 and 2025.
Main findings
A seventeen point eight percent infection rate was observed across the sampled flocks. Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium emerged as the most frequent isolates. Laboratory testing indicated that florfenicol and enrofloxacin maintained stronger activity against the strains, whereas substantial resistance was detected against ampicillin and doxycycline.
Public-health relevance
The elevated resistance rates to conventional treatments underscore the importance of enhanced farm biosecurity and prudent antibiotic stewardship to limit resistance accumulation in food animal environments.
Important limitations
The evaluation utilized a limited cohort of thirty specimens drawn from just two locations, which constrains the ability to extrapolate results to wider agricultural regions.
GIDS interpretation
This record supplies baseline laboratory metrics regarding avian Salmonella occurrence and drug susceptibility within a defined farming setting. The content aids academic indexing and historical trend documentation while remaining distinct from active epidemiological monitoring networks.
Related GIDS surveillance
Literature context does not validate, explain, or change a surveillance signal. Exact and contextual relationships are shown separately.
