Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Toxin Gene Profiles of Commensal <i>Clostridium perfringens</i> Isolates from Turkeys in Hungarian Poultry Farms (2022-2023).

ABSTRACT: Background: The global spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains one of the greatest challenges of our time, necessitating collaboration among professionals in both the animal and public health sectors. One bacterial species that is developing AMR is Clostridium perfringens. It causes serious bacterial infections and continues to cause significant economic losses in the poultry industry. Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of commensal C. perfringens strains isolated from large-scale turkey flocks in Hungary using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination. We complemented our research with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis to detect the major and minor toxin genes that are characteristic of the
