Prevalence and antibiotic resistance patterns of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from chicken droppings on poultry farms in Gondar city, Northwest Ethiopia
This study demonstrated that poultry farms may be potential reservoirs for <i>P. aeruginosa</i> and <i>A. baumannii,</i> including antibiotic-resistant strains. This is a significant concern to public health because poultry farmers may be contaminated, increasing their dissemination to the community. Therefore, poultry farmers should improve sanitation and reduce the misuse and overuse of antibiotics at poultry farms.
