Antimicrobial resistance in food-borne pathogens at the human-animal interface: Results from a large surveillance study in India

The burden of foodborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance carried by key foodborne pathogens in India is unknown due to a lack of an integrated surveillance system at the human-animal interface.

In one of the most extensive studies from India, a high burden of key foodborne pathogens with MDR and ESBL phenotypes was found in livestock, poultry, and retail meat.
