  31 May 2024

The emergence of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria is a global One Health issue due to the widespread use of antimicrobial agents in human and agricultural settings. This article assesses AMR frequency in 1604 bacterial isolates from Virginia from 2007 to 2021. Streptomycin and tetracycline showed the highest resistance rates in E. coli and Salmonella, with multidrug resistance in 6.6% and 10.9% respectively. The study highlights the need for strategies to mitigate AMR emergence and prudent antimicrobial use from a One Health perspective.
