Table 2_Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Campylobacter coli, Campylobacter jejuni, and Escherichia coli in the poultry distribution network.xlsx Sadik Dantroliya (25090282) Monica Chavan (25090285) Debashrita Mittra (17402828) Rameshchandra Pandit (17990726) Fiona Tomley (203471) Damer Blake (230189) Prakash Koringa (5444846) Chaitanya Joshi (653787) Satyamitra Shekh (25090288) Chinmayi Joshi (6242027) Madhvi Joshi (5233619) Microbiology Campylobacter coli Campylobacter jejuni Escherichia coli poultry farms broiler desi chicken <p>India is one of the largest producers of poultry and poultry-derived products. The dynamics of animal production and consumer exposure have been linked to new challenges in the control of poultry-borne zoonotic diseases as consumption of poultry products raises. As a part of the One Health Poultry Hub, this study focused on addressing the risk posed by pathogens associated to the intensification of poultry production. Eight cities in the state of Gujarat were included in the study based on poultry density and distribution networks (PDN). Samples were collected from 65 live bird market shops and 50 poultry farms. The prevalence of key food borne pathogens - specifically Campylobacter spp. and Escherichia coli - was assessed using cecal and cloacal samples from birds, while non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) spp. was examined in environment samples from poultry farms. Campylobacter spp. and E. coli were recovered from 10.26% and 51.33% birds, respectively, whereas NTS spp. was not detected in any environmental sample. Prevalence pattern varied by city, season and breed. The highest C. coli prevalence was in broiler shop samples from Surat (17.5%) and desi chickens form Bhuj (16.7%), while C. jejuni peaked in broiler shop samples from Bhuj (13.3%). C. jejuni was not detected in desi chickens. All isolates were further analyzed for antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance using the disc diffusion method. A higher resistance was observed in Campylobacter isolates (55.74%) particularly against fluoroquinolones, macrolides and beta-lactams. Among the isolated organisms, 39.34% of Campylobacter and 61.03% of E. coli isolates exhibited extensively drug-resistant (XDR) phenotypes, while 4.92% of Campylobacter and 9.09% of E. coli demonstrated pan drug-resistant (PDR) phenotypes. Among Escherichia coli isolates, 29.87% exhibited resistance to glycopeptides, nitrofurantoin, macrolides, tetracycline, beta-lactams, and fluoroquinolones. These findings underscore the critical need for implementing farm hygiene practices to mitigate the risk of food borne pathogens and antimicrobial resistance within poultry distribution networks.</p> 2026-09-22T13:47:55Z Dataset Dataset 10.3389/frabi.2026.1875259.s002 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Table_2_Prevalence_and_antimicrobial_resistance_profiles_of_Campylobacter_coli_Campylobacter_jejuni_and_Escherichia_coli_in_the_poultry_distribution_network_xlsx/33965248 CC BY 4.0
