Abstract

Slaughterhouses may be hotspots for the transmission of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) pathogens. To obtain information on the AMR landscape in Kenyan slaughterhouses, we collected swabs of the environment, animal carcasses, and workers. Bacterial isolates were identified in 101/193 (52.3 %) samples, and most showed resistance to streptomycin (68.7 %), ampicillin (48.7 %), and tetracycline (42.5 %). Multi drug resistance was exhibited by 35/80 isolates (43.8 %; 95 % CI: 33.2–54.9 %), while Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase was expressed in 5/80 isolates (6.3 %; 95 % CI: 2.6–14.3 %). These findings illustrate the presence of resistant bacteria throughout the slaughterhouse environment, posing a risk to workers and meat consumers and highlighting the need for an integrated surveillance system along the food chain.

肯尼亚西部屠宰场的抗菌药耐药性状况：微生物案例研究

屠宰场可能是耐抗菌素（AMR）病原体传播的热点地区。为了了解肯尼亚屠宰场的 AMR 状况，我们收集了环境、动物尸体和工人的拭子。在 101/193 份（52.3%）样本中发现了细菌分离物，其中大部分对链霉素（68.7%）、氨苄西林（48.7%）和四环素（42.5%）具有耐药性。35/80 个分离株（43.8%；95% CI：33.2-54.9%）表现出多重耐药性，5/80 个分离株（6.3%；95% CI：2.6-14.3%）表现出广谱β-内酰胺酶。这些研究结果表明，在整个屠宰场环境中都存在耐药细菌，这对工人和肉类消费者构成了风险，并强调了在食物链中建立综合监控系统的必要性。
