A pooled prevalence of Salmonella spp. in wild birds was 5.77%, with the highest prevalence observed in Asia (10.13%). This dataset, created by Eurade Ntakiyisumba and last updated in April 2026, contains results from a systematic review and meta-analysis on antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella in global wild bird populations. It highlights a significant temporal increase in resistance to key antimicrobials like fluoroquinolones.
Use Cases
- Analyze regional variation in Salmonella prevalence based on continent-level results
- Track temporal trends in antimicrobial resistance based on reported increases for fluoroquinolones and penicillin/β-lactamase inhibitors
- Compare infection rates across avian taxonomic orders based on reported rates for Accipitriformes and Charadriiformes
- Assess resistance to critically important antimicrobials based on prevalence figures for macrolides, monobactams, and penicillins
Strengths
- Provides a global pooled prevalence estimate of 5.77% with 95% confidence intervals
- Includes serovar-specific analysis showing S. Typhimidis prevalence at 4.12%
- Reports resistance prevalence for specific antimicrobial classes, such as 29.6% for macrolides
- Contains temporal trend analysis with statistical significance (p-values)
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 15.6 KB, indicating a very limited scope likely containing only summary statistics
