Antimicrobial resistance genes in sidestram materials, waste discharges and processing environments of salmon and broiler
Mapping reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across value chains and their environmental dissemination pathways is essential for limiting the spread and impact of AMR. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of AMR genes in sidestream materials, waste discharges and processing environments of salmon and broiler. A targeted hybrid capture-based sequencing approach was used to characterize the resistome in 26 samples collected from four processing plants, revealing a diverse range of AMR genes.
