Emerging zoonotic risks: whole-genome sequencing reveals antimicrobial resistance and genomic diversity in Providencia stuartii isolated from broiler chickens in Noakhali, Bangladesh.

Abstract excerpt

Providencia stuartii is emerging as an Extensively Drug-Resistant (XDR) pathogen commonly found in animals, insects, and in burned and immunocompromised conditions. The misuse of antibiotics in poultry feed causes the emergence of XDR bacteria in the poultry industry. The knowledge of zoonotic transmissibility of poultry-derived P. stuartii remains elusive in Noakhali, Bangladesh. Poultry fecal and rectal swab...
