This review evaluates antibiotic resistance in poultry, suggesting interventions for sustainable control.

The review aims to synthesize the understanding of antibiotic resistance genes and microbial ecology in poultry production.
Evaluated structural and functional features of the poultry resistome
Assessed impacts of antibiotic-use patterns on microbial communities
Examined transmission pathways among breeding flocks, hatcheries, and production facilities
Proposed a resistome–microbiome–metabolome framework for future strategies
Identified key bacterial hosts and mobile genetic elements related to ARGs
Highlighted shifts in gut metabolic conditions due to antibiotic use
Established connections between microbial interactions and metabolic signaling

Jian et al. (2026) studied this question.
