Prevalence and genetic basis of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli carriage in broiler farms in the United Arab Emirates
Our findings underscore the potential zoonotic risk posed by these strains and highlight the urgent need for strengthened antimicrobial stewardship, enhanced biosecurity practices, and continuous surveillance to limit the spread of resistant bacteria in poultry production and protect public health.
