Epidemiology of potential source, risk attribution of Clostridium perfringens from Egyptian broiler farms and genetic diversity of multidrug resistance strains.

PMID 40764721 · 2025

The study identified multiple AMR genes in Clostridium perfringens isolates from Egyptian broiler farms, including aminoglycoside, beta-lactam, macrolide, quinolone, sulfonamide, tetracycline, and trimethoprim resistance genes. High prevalence of multidrug-resistant strains was observed.
