From Barns to Bushes: Exploring the <scp>ECOFF</scp> ‐Based Non‐Wild‐Type Status of <i>Campylobacter</i> spp. in Pets, Livestock, Synanthropic Birds and Wild Animals in Northwestern Italy
This study provides evidence of NWT Campylobacter isolates based on EUCAST epidemiological cut-off values (ECOFFs) in both wild and domestic animal hosts in northwestern Italy. The high frequency of NWT isolates, particularly of fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines in livestock-associated isolates, aligns with concerns regarding antimicrobial use in the animal production sector. The detection of NWT isolates in wild animals suggests potential environmental dissemination and interspecies transmission.
