Phenotypic resistance and virulence gene profiles of non-typhoidal Salmonella in retail poultry products in Arusha, Tanzania: A One Health perspective
The findings demonstrate a high prevalence of virulent and IMI-resistant <i>S</i>. Typhimurium in retail poultry products in Arusha, particularly in eggs. These results highlight critical gaps in food safety regulation and antimicrobial stewardship within the Tanzanian One Health framework. Further genomic studies are warranted to elucidate underlying resistance mechanisms and inform effective surveillance strategies.
