Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp in dairy farm in the Tigray Region, Northern Ethiopia
The study revealed a high prevalence of E. coli and Klebsiella spp. in dairy farm environments, with a considerable proportion of MDR and ESBL producers. This poses a serious concern for food safety and public health. These findings highlight the urgent need to enhance hygiene, antimicrobial stewardship, and integrated One Health-based surveillance along the dairy value chain.
