Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profiles of Commensal <i>Staphylococcus</i> spp. Isolates from Chickens in Hungarian Poultry Farms Between 2022 and 2023.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest challenges of our time, urging researchers in both veterinary and public health to engage in collaborative efforts, thereby fostering the One Health approach. Infections caused by Staphylococcus species can not only lead to significant diseases in poultry but also pose serious threats to human life, particularly in hospital (nosocomial) infections; therefore, it is crucial to identify their antimicrobial resistance.

Methods

Our objective was to assess the susceptibility profile of commensal Staphylococcus aureus strains (n = 227) found in commercial chicken flocks in Hungary through the determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values.

Results

Based on our findings, resistanc
