First report of carbapenemase-producing bacteria from poultry farms in the United Arab Emirates: an emerging One Health threat

Carbapenemase-producing bacteria represent a critical global public health threat, yet their presence and molecular characteristics in food animal production systems remain poorly understood. This study provides the first comprehensive report of carbapenemase-producing bacteria isolated from poultry farms in the Un...

Antimicrobial Resistance in Nontyphoidal Salmonella and Clinically Relevant Enterococcus From Faecal Samples of Conservation‐Priority Captive Ungulates in a United Arab Emirates Urban Zoo: A Cross‐Sectional Baseline Study

ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a One Health challenge driven by microbial exchange among humans, animals and the environment. Zoological institutions offer useful settings for environmental AMR surveillance. This single‐zoo cross‐sectional study examined the occurrence, antimicrobial susceptibility and geno...

Efficacy of phage vB_EcoP_ZCEC16 in controlling Escherichia coli contamination in fresh poultry meat

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) poses a substantial economic and health challenges for poultry and meat industries. One of the promising alternative approaches to overcome bacterial contamination in food products is bacteriophage, due to its high specificity, safety, and effectiveness. We aimed to isolate a ba...
