Prevalence, distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles in poultry meat samples from India: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Chicken meat is a widely consumed source of protein in India but increasing reports of bacterial contamination and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) raise significant public health concerns. This systematic review aims to assess the prevalence of key bacterial pathogens in chicken meat across India and their resistance profiles.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was carried out across PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases for studies published up to August 2024. Additionally, gray literature was retrieved using Google Scholar. Studies that identified bacterial isolates from chicken meat samples in India and reported antimicrobial susceptibility results were selected for inclusion. Data were extracted on bacterial species, sample location, antibiotics
