Vaccinating poultry can reduce antibiotic resistance in meat that can transfer to people

A study has been conducted in broiler breeder flocks to assess the frequency of target bacteria, their antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and to obtain a comprehensive picture of AMR in poultry production.The study reviewed data from the Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance (CIPARS) and its monitoring of E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter. Researchers looked at the pathogens’ resistance to antimicrobials in broiler chickens at the farm level and in slaughte
