Occurrence, risk factors and antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter from poultry and humans in central Ethiopia: A one health approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Campylobacter is a leading foodborne pathogen posing a significant One Health challenge due to broad animal reservoirs and serious antibiotic resistance. Despite frequent human-animal-environment interactions in Ethiopia, One Health studies on Campylobacter occurrence and transmission are crucial but lacking.

Methodology/principal findings

A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2021 to March 2022 in central Ethiopia using a One Health approach to assess Campylobacter occurrence and resistance in humans, poultry and environment, and identify risk factors in humans and poultry. A total of 366 samples from 122 poultry farms were collected, including cloacal swabs, human stools, and poultry house floor samples. Epidemiological data on risk factors and respon
