A global meta-analysis of Salmonella prevalence and antimicrobial resistance in wild birds, conducted by Eurade Ntakiyisumba and published in April 2026. The dataset likely contains pooled prevalence estimates for Salmonella spp. and specific serovars across continents and avian orders, along with resistance rates to various antimicrobial classes. Results indicate a pooled prevalence of 5.77% and show a significant temporal increase in resistance to key antimicrobials.
Use Cases
- Compare regional Salmonella prevalence in wildlife based on continent-level estimates
- Analyze temporal trends in antimicrobial resistance based on reported increasing resistance rates
- Assess infection risk across avian taxonomic orders based on reported order-specific prevalence
- Model environmental selective pressure on AMR based on resistance patterns to critically important antimicrobials
Strengths
- Provides a global pooled prevalence estimate of 5.77% with 95% confidence intervals
- Includes continent-specific prevalence rates (e.g., Asia 10.13%, Africa 6.66%, Europe 6.14%)
- Reports serovar-specific prevalence (S. Typhimurium 4.12%, S. Enteritidis 1.42%)
- Contains resistance rates for specific antimicrobial classes (e.g., macrolides 29.6%, monobactams 22.9%)
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- The dataset is very small (23.4 KB), suggesting limited scope or summary-level data
