A study by Triin Tedersoo from the Estonian University of Life Sciences has found that poultry meat imported into Estonia from Lithuania and Latvia is contaminated with campylobacter bacteria resistant to antibiotics. The research discovered that 90.2% of the Campylobacter strains from broiler chicken meat in 2018 and 2019 were resistant to one or more antimicrobials, compared to Estonian chicken meat, which was sensitive to all antimicrobials used. The study has raised concerns about the health risks posed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria in food and emphasizes the importance of adhering to treatment guidelines for both humans and animals to reduce the incidence of antimicrobial resistance. The study also found that pigs were carriers of antimicrobial-resistant C. coli, but did not specify the origin of the infected products. The findings highlight the need for better practices in the poultry industry to address the issue of superbugs in livestock.
