Antimicrobial Resistance Profile of Isolated from Raw Chicken Meat in a Selected Wet Market in Manila City, Philippines.

Background And Objective: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a leading global public health concern as it resulted in more difficult-to-treat infections and fatalities. In the Philippines, drug-resistant , including multidrug-resistant (MDR), extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing, carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant (CP-CR) , have been isolated from common food animals, increasing the risk of cross-contamination between humans, animals, and the environment. However, there is a lack of data on the distribution of in chicken meat in public wet markets.
