Multidrug-resistant non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica from chickens, farmworkers, and environments: One health implications from Northwestern Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT: Non-typhoidal Salmonella are important foodborne zoonotic pathogens closely linked to poultry and poultry products. Despite their public health importance, limited data are available on the epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance patterns of nontyphoidal Salmonella in poultry production systems in Ethiopia. This cross-sectional study aimed to estimate the prevalence, identify risk factors, and assess the antimicrobial resistance profiles of Salmonella enterica from poultry farms in Bahir Dar city, northwestern Ethiopia. Standard bacteriological methods, PCR-based detection, and serotyping were used to investigate the presence of Salmonella in chicken (n = 126), environmental (n = 198), and human (n = 45) samples collected from 22 poultry farms. Antimicrobial susceptibility profiles were
