Abstract

The study revealed a high prevalence of cefotaxime-resistant Enterobacterales and multidrug resistance involving medically important antibiotics. Four bla genes (bla CTX-M, bla TEM, bla OXA-1-like and bla SHV) were identified. Our results highlight the need to strengthen antimicrobial stewardship programmes and optimize antimicrobial use in poultry farming.
