The findings from this investigation provide concrete evidence of the presence of the tetA resistance gene in certain chicken samples sourced from Bhopal District in Madhya Pradesh. This highlights a potential concern regarding the consumption of such contaminated poultry, as the resistance gene could render traditional tetA-targeting antibiotics ineffective in treating associated bacterial infections. These results underscore the need for vigilant monitoring and regulation of antibiotic use in poultry farming to mitigate the spread of antibiotic resistance.
