Screening for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in poultry meat and public health implications: A bibliometric analysis of literature
https://doi.org/10.21323/2414-438X-2026-11-2-190-201
Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains a persistent threat in this century. While public debate often focuses on human medicine, the agricultural sector plays a crucial role in the emergence and mitigation of antimicrobial resistance. The growth of intensive livestock farming has encouraged antibiotic use across all animal sectors, including poultry production. Research on poultry meat in various regions of the world has revealed high levels of AMR, exceeding required standards. Encouragingly, significant progress has been made in recent years in reducing antibiotic use in livestock farming, particularly in poultry production. Despite ongoing efforts, AMR continues to spread in many countries, highlighting the urgent need to implement antibiotic reduction strategies. Robust surveillance systems and responsible antimicrobial use are essential. Without them, progress made in some regions risks being undone by uncontrolled practices. This article summarizes scientific research on antimicrobial resistance in poultry meat in different countries and its consequences for public health.
