Antibiotic Residues and Antimicrobial Resistant bacteria in the Poultry Value Chain of Two Indian States
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The poultry industry's rapid expansion has made it a significant global meat source, especially in India, which ranks as the eighth largest broiler meat producer. However, severe concerns have arisen over the increasing antibiotic resistance in low and middle-income countries, including India. This study systematically investigated the prevalence of Non-Typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains, along with their antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles, in poultry samples from Assam and Karnataka states in India. We found high prevalence of NTS (26%) and E. coli (53%) in various poultry samples, with substantial regional variations. Assam and Karnataka contribute differently to the overall NTS prevalence, with Karnataka bearing the highest burden (39% versus 14%). The presence of NTS and E. coli in treated water intended for watering poultry raises concerns about the effectiveness of water disinfection methods. Serovar analysis highlights the dominance of Typhimurium, Kentucky, Infantis and other serovars, some exhibiting multidrug resistance (MDR), including resistance to fluoroquinolones. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, including carbapenem-resistant E. coli, presents a potential decline in treatment options. The study highlights the presence of MDR among NTS and stresses the importance of monitoring resistance profiles to devise effective antimicrobial strategies. The study underscores the necessity of collaborative efforts to combat AMR and ensure food safety, health, and wellbeing on a global scale.

- In spite of the importance of urban livestock keeping in providing the urban populations with livelihoods and nutritious foods, this phenomenon does have both benefits and negative effects. Here we explore the different strengths and weaknesses of urban livestock systems, including the risks for transmission of diseases and contribution to poor sanitation. In addition we look at the opportunities and threats that urban livestock keeping may face in the future, which are often dependent on policies and public attitudes.

The cost-benefit analysis of a light-touch intervention to improve the safety of pork in Vietnam : the case of salmonellosis
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Salmonellosis is a common food-borne disease in low and middle-income countries but there is not much cost-effective program to reduce its burden, even in developed countries. This study aims to estimate the cost of salmonellosis in Vietnam and analyse the net benefit of light-touch intervention at small-scale pork shop in reducing the burden of salmonellosis. The cost of light-touch intervention cost at 29 pork shops was collected as well as the prevalence of salmonellosis severity in Hung Yen and Thai Nguyen. The Monte Carlo simulation was implemented to estimate the cost of salmonellosis, cost and benefit pork sellers and consumers. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to identify the most influenced factors to the net benefit of both two stakeholders. The cost of salmonellosis in Vietnam was calculated to be 345,770,000 VND per case (95% CI: 52,151 – 8,533,360,000). The total net benefit of the light-touch intervention was 27,900,000 VND per year (95% CI: -43,000 – 117,700,000) with 59.6% of positive cases. Most of this benefit was transferred to the consumers: 27,700,000 VND per year (95% CI: -550,000 – 117,520,000) with 61.2% of cases being positive while the figure of pork seller was 210,000 VND per year (95% CI: -39,000 – 660,000) with 93.2% positive cases. The pork seller was mostly profitable due to implementing the intervention while the consumer’s benefit varied strongly following the change of salmonellosis probability and the cost of salmonellosis
