Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profiles of Escherichia coli Isolates from Clinical Cases of Turkeys in Hungary (2022–2023)

Our findings underscore the necessity of regular surveillance studies, which should be periodically repeated in the future to observe temporal trends. These results should also be linked to antibiotic usage patterns, and the genetic background of multidrug-resistant strains should be further examined using next-generation sequencing techniques. This study provides critical insights into the current antimicrobial resistance landscape in the Hungarian poultry industry and highlights the urgent need for targeted interventions to prevent the dissemination of resistant strains to humans. The findings contribute valuable data for developing future AMR management strategies in veterinary and public health contexts.
