Description
Benazir Kanwal and co-authors survey drug resistant bacteria in livestock across Sindh, Pakistan in a 2026 study. Heavy farm antibiotic use breeds resistant germs that threaten both animal production and human health. Over two years the team collected more than five hundred samples, mostly from chickens, with smaller numbers from goats, sheep, cattle, and buffalo.
Salmonella was the most common infection, found in over three quarters of samples, with Escherichia coli next at near two thirds. Resistance to common penicillin type drugs ran very high in all three lead germs. Family tree analysis of the isolates traced how the resistant strains relate.
