Abstract

Antibiotic resistance (AR) is a serious global health problem affecting both human medicine and animal agriculture. The poultry farming, especially industrial poultry, antibiotics are widely used for disease prevention and growth promotion, leading to the accumulation and dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) within the intestinal microbiomes of birds. Poultry, which often have close contact with humans, can serve as reservoirs for resistant microorganisms, posing potential public health risks. Determination of avian intestinal resistomes through metagenomic sequencing and bioinformatics analysis enables the identification of diversity and transmission dynamics of ARGs, and to evaluate the influence of environmental factors and conditions of poultry on resistance gene distribution. The article presents data of resistome analysis of gut microbiota in populations of chickens from different regions of Kazakhstan. The data obtained will allow to develop a strategy to reduce the spread of antibiotic-resistant pathogens and improve safety in poultry farming, as well as to predict the risk of transmission of resistant microorganisms between animals and humans.
