Bacterial pathogens in Jiangxi poultry (2023-2024): Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles.

ABSTRACT: Poultry-associated bacterial infections cause substantial economic losses and exacerbate antimicrobial resistance, which poses significant threats to food safety and public health. We conducted epidemiological surveillance of bacterial pathogens isolated from poultry flocks in Jiangxi Province between 2020 and 2022. This study extends that monitoring for a two-year period (2023-2024), continuing the prevalence tracking and antimicrobial resistance surveillance of avian bacterial pathogens across the province. During this surveillance period, 547 tissue and fluid samples were collected from clinically diseased poultry (ducks, geese, and chickens), with a bacterial isolation rate of 50.5% (276/547). Among all 311 bacterial isolates, the most prevalent pathogens were Avian Pathogenic Escheric
