“…S almonella spp. is one of the most reported pathogen of zoonotic potential, as well as development of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) strains of Salmonellae are becoming a major public health threat (Espunyes et al, 2022). According to the White-Kauffmann-Le Minor scheme, single species S. enterica (have six subspecies) composed of over 2600 serotypes, which have where most (approximately 1600 serotypes sharing high sequence similarity) of the them belong to the subspecies enterica (Elnekave et al, 2020, Yang et al, 2014.…”

The Experiment was conducted during June–December, 2022 at Department of Veterinary Public Health & Epidemiolgy, College of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry, Rewa, NDVSU, Jabalpur, M.P. India. to attribute the possible risk of poultry and its product as an increasing cause for food borne Salmonellosis, a cross sectional study was carried out in poultry samples from Rewa city of Madhya Pradesh. A total of 300 sample (Poultry and environment) were collected and processed for isolation and identification of Salmonellae by culture, biochemical methods and molecular methods. Only poultry samples were found positive while all the environmental sample were negative. A total of 5.5% occurrence of Salmonella was found in poultry samples with 5% positivity in meat sample and 6% in the caecum. Two serotype Salmonella Typhimurium (4%) and Salmonella. Infantis (1.5%) were detected. Drug resistance pattern of isolated Salmonella indicated a very high resistance towards many of antibiotics which are critical for clinical use for animal, birds and humans as well. All the isolates were positive for Virulence marker invA, spiA, and drug resistance gene, blaTEM, while ampC and tetA were detected only in S. Typhimurium with 23 and 50 % positivity and spvR and spvC virulence genes were not detected in any isolated salmonella. As Non typhoidal Salmonella are of zoonotic importance, their presence in poultry meat and fecal samples, indicating the need to implement effective prevention and control measures throughout food chain that is from farm to fork level.

“…Salmonella is one of the most reported zoonotic pathogens, and the antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) strains of Salmonella are a big concern for public health [ 16 ]. Even though NTS commonly causes gastrointestinal infections worldwide, most of the strains cause mild gastroenteritis which is usually not required to treat with antibiotics [ 17 ].…”

Salmonella is a foodborne zoonotic bacterium, and the antimicrobial-resistant strains of Salmonella are a worldwide health concern. Herein, we employed a meta-analysis to determine the pooled prevalence of Salmonella and its antimicrobial resistance status in human, animal, and environmental isolates in South Asia. To this end, we followed the standard guideline of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statements for searching literature in three databases namely PubMed, Google Scholar, and CAB abstracts, and a total of 100 eligible datasets were finally included which were published from January 2010 to June 2021. In the pooled prevalence of Salmonella in South Asia, the random model effect was 14.47% (95% CI: 10.17–20.19) with a high degree of heterogeneity (I2, 99.8%) and overall antimicrobial resistance was 70% (95% CI: 63.0–76.0) with a heterogeneity of 23.6%. The temporal distribution of the overall antimicrobial resistance (%) against Salmonella was increased from 53 to 77% within 10 years. Out of 18 distinct Salmonella serotypes, S. enterica was highly prevalent (14.22%, 95% CI: 4.02–39.64) followed by S.pullorum (13.50%, 95% CI: 5.64–29.93) with antimicrobial resistance (%) were 86.26 and 90.06, respectively. Noteworthy, nalidixic acid (74.25%) and tetracycline (37.64%) were found mostly resistant to Salmonella whereas ceftriaxone (1.07%) and cefixime (1.24%) were sensitive. This systematic review demonstrated that overall antibiotic resistance profiles of Salmonella are increasing over time in South Asia. Thus, adequate hygienic practices, proper use of antimicrobials, and implementation of antibiotic stewardship are imperative for halting the Salmonella spread and its antimicrobial resistance.

“…These carcasses are left in feeding stations intended to favor vultures' survival by farmers who want to get rid of carcasses reared in intensive farms [17][18][19], i.e., farms where large numbers of animals are mostly reared indoors and where antibiotics are often used as group treatments. The importance of feeding stations in the transmission of bacteria from livestock to vultures was further exemplified by the detection of highly similar Salmonella Typhimurium PFGE patterns between vultures and pigs or poultry from the same region [20].…”

Despite the fact that the selective pressure of antibiotics on wild birds is supposed to be very weak, they are considered potential vectors of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Obligate scavengers such as vultures can present high proportions of resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESC) and multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, partially due to feeding stations that are provisioned with livestock carcasses from intensive farming. Here we investigated whether griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) from two populations located in the French Alps, which feed on livestock carcasses from extensive farms, may carry such resistant bacteria. Phenotypic and genotypic characterization showed an 11.8% proportion of ESC-resistant bacteria, including five extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing and one AmpC-producing E. coli. The five ESBL-positive E. coli were clonal and all came from the same vulture population, proving their spread between animals. The ESBL phenotype was due to a blaCTX-M-15 gene located on the chromosome. Both ESBL- and AmpC-positive E. coli belonged to minor STs (ST212 and ST3274, respectively); interestingly, ST212 has already been identified in wild birds around the world, including vultures. These results suggest that actions are needed to mitigate the spread of MDR bacteria through wild birds, particularly in commensal species.
