Antimicrobial resistance and virulence gene profiles of Escherichia coli isolated from poultry farms using One Health perspective in Abeokuta, Nigeria
Our results suggest that apparently healthy birds carry antimicrobial resistant genes and virulence genes, underlining their possible transmission to humans. The presence of similar ARGs and VAGs in the handlers of birds and their shared environment highlights the importance of using a One Health approach.
