Table 2_Preharvest antibiotic use influences antibiotic resistance in Salmonella species f

3,600 fecal samples from commercial poultry and swine farms in Lagos, Southwestern Nigeria were evaluated for Salmonella spp. and antimicrobial resistance determinants. The study by Timothy Obiebe Jason Odey, last updated in April 2026, found a 1.5% overall Salmonella prevalence and widespread multidrug resistance, correlating antibiotic use with resistance phenotypes.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between farm management practices and antimicrobial resistance phenotypes based on questionnaire data mentioned in the description.
• Model the prevalence of specific resistance genes like tetA and sul1 across different animal species.
• Assess public health risks by studying the co-occurrence of virulence factors and multidrug resistance in Salmonella strains.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a substantial sample size of 3,600 fecal samples.
• Provides specific prevalence rates for Salmonella in layers (0.67%), broilers (1.67%), and pigs (2.2%).
• Includes molecular analysis results for specific resistance determinants and virulence factors with quantified percentages.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is geographically limited to farms in Lagos, Southwestern Nigeria.
