Role of migratory birds as a risk factor for the transmission of multidrug resistant Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli to broiler poultry farms and its surrounding environment.

ABSTRACT: Multidrug resistance (MDR) considered as global crisis facing poultry industry. Migratory birds play very important role in the dissemination of antimicrobial resistant pathogen during their fly way specially to poultry farms. Therefore, 750 samples from migratory birds and 300 samples from broiler chicken farms and its environment were collected during the winter seasons of five years (2019 to 2023). The samples were subjected to the isolation of Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli with the detection of antimicrobial resistance (phenotypic and genotypic) with insight to the genetic similarity between the isolates from migratory birds and broiler chickens' farms. Different members of Enterobacteriaceae were isolated; Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Kl
