This cross-sectional study shows antimicrobial resistance in Tibetan pigs, implying a need for better farm-level health practices.
Tibetan pigs represent a substantial reservoir of MDR E. coli, strengthening the rationale for farm-level antimicrobial stewardship and integrated surveillance that links animal, environmental and human compartments. The study is limited by its cross-sectional design, focus on a single province and animal host and the absence of parallel human or environmental isolates, which prevent inference of causal zoonotic pathways and should be addressed in longitudinal One Health investigations.
