Findings in the Area of Campylobacter Reported from Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (Antimicrobial Resistance In Food-borne Pathogens At the Human-animal Interface: Results From a Large Surveillance Study In India).

A recent study conducted in India examined the prevalence of foodborne pathogens and antimicrobial resistance in livestock, poultry, and retail meat. The study found a high burden of key foodborne pathogens, including Campylobacter, with multidrug-resistant and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) phenotypes. The research highlights the need for an integrated surveillance system to monitor and address the issue of foodborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance in India. The study also identified C. hyointestinalis as an emerging zoonotic pathogen in India. [Extracted from the article]
