Antimicrobial Resistance in Turkey Fecal and Surface Samples from Lima, Peru

50 observations characterize phenotypic antimicrobial resistance patterns in a semi-technified small-scale turkey production system. The data was collected by Alex Yauyo in April 2026 from fecal and surface samples of turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo domesticus) in Lima, Peru.

Use Cases

• Analyze phenotypic antimicrobial resistance patterns based on the described resistance variables.
• Study the prevalence of resistant bacteria in small-scale poultry production systems based on the described sampling context.
• Compare resistance profiles between fecal and environmental samples from the same farm system.
• Investigate potential public health risks associated with turkey production based on the antimicrobial resistance data.

Strengths

• Contains 50 observations from a specific production system.
• Focuses on phenotypic antimicrobial resistance, a key metric for public health.
• Data collection date (April 2026) is explicitly stated, providing temporal context.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset's 45.5 KB size indicates a very limited scope.
