ANTIBIOGRAM OF ESCHERICHIA COLI ISOLATED FROM RAW AND READY TO EAT CHEVON (GOAT) MEAT SOLD IN JOS METROPOLIS.

Over and above being a concentrated source of energy, the fats in meat mediate the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, thus helping prevent potential deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins. As a major threat to public health, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) reduces the effectiveness of currently available antibiotic treatments for bacterial infections. Due to the ecological niche between patients, antimicrobial exposure, and hospital-adaptation, AMR microbes are commonly found in healthcare facilities (Islam et al, 2021). The health of humans, animals, and environments is threatened by the consequences of AMR (Roy et al, 2022). Moreover, it is abundantly obvious that AMR in livestock is intricately connected to their existence in humans and environments as well (Tawyabur et al, 2020). It is predicted that AMR would result in a significant number of deaths throughout the world (Murray et al, 2022). It would also cause massive economic damages and a considerable drop in animal production globally (Talukder et al, 2021).
