Investigating Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (O157:H7) in live sheep from Central Jordan: Prevalence and antibiotic sensitivity analysis
The absence of EHEC in local sheep suggests that they are not a primary source of this pathogen in Jordan. However, the observed AMR in non-EHEC isolates highlights the need for stringent sanitary practices and antimicrobial stewardship to mitigate public health risks. Seasonal and age-related variations should be explored in future longitudinal studies.
