Faisal Al SawafiExplore the Contamination of Antibiotic Resistance Genes (ARGs) and Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (ARB) of the Processing Lines at Typical Broiler Slaughterhouse in China
This study investigates the pollution of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in broiler slaughtering and processing. It analyzes samples collected from the slaughtering and processing production chain, revealing 24 types of ARGs, with tetracycline-resistance genes being the most frequently detected. The most abundant ARGs were found in chicken surfaces during the scalding and evisceration stages. The study also found that the four food-borne pathogens tested were widely present in all aspects of the slaughter process, with most having multi-drug resistance and a high degree of resistance to some veterinary drugs banned by the Ministry of Agriculture.
