Project description
Kenya’s poultry industry is linked to transmission of antimicrobial resistance genes and resistant pathogens between animals and humans. Despite existing policies for food safety, sustainable interventions applicable to different poultry production systems are lacking. This study will evaluate prevalence of AMR in E. coli and Salmonella, antimicrobial use and risk factors, and model utility of potential interventions in different production systems.
