Antimicrobial Resistance and Genomic Characteristics of Avian Pasteurella multocida
This study demonstrates the increasing prevalence of avian Pasteurella multocida in China, specifically the sustained circulation of ST129 and the recent emergence of ST471, particularly in ducks.These findings underscore the urgency of continuous monitoring of strain dissemination and the evolution of multidrug resistance, providing a scientific basis for precise and rational antimicrobials use in farms and for blocking the spread of potentially high-risk strains.
