A systematic review and meta-analysis of antibiotic resistance of foodborne pathogenic bacteria.

ABSTRACT: Antimicrobial drugs are used to treat bacterial pathogens that cause infections in humans and animals. Despite their importance, antimicrobial drugs exhibit inefficiency in treating infections if used irrationally without adherence to standard guidelines. Currently there is a lack of review literatures concerning antimicrobial resistance status in the southern sub Saharan African countries, hence the study is designed for and provides valuable insights into the status and comparison of antimicrobial resistance among foodborne bacteria in Zambia relative to other regions of the world, using systematic literature review and meta-analysis. For meta-analysis of bacterial and AMR prevalence and, generation of forest plots, functions from R packages were used and meta-regression analysis using t
