Antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of Enterococcus spp. isolates from domestic pigeons in Hungary in 2022
The findings underscore pigeons' potential role as environmental reservoirs of resistant <i>Enterococcus</i> isolates. This poses a concern for public and veterinary health under the One Health paradigm. These results support the urgent need for targeted antimicrobial surveillance in pigeons and further molecular investigations to characterize resistance determinants and assess potential transmission risks.
