Antimicrobial resistance in food-borne pathogens at the human-animal interface: Results from a large surveillance study in India.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The burden of foodborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance carried by key foodborne pathogens in India is unknown due to a lack of an integrated surveillance system at the human-animal interface.

Methods

We present data from the WHO-AGISAR (Advisory Group on Integrated Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance), India project. Concurrent human and animal sampling was done across a large area across north India. Community-acquired diarrhea cases (n = 1968) of all age groups were included. Cross-sectional sampling of stool/ intestinal contents (n = 487) and meat samples (n = 419) from food-producing animals was done at farms, retail shops, and slaughterhouses. Pathogens were cultured and identified, and antimicrobial susceptibility was perform
