Key Points

To assess the occurrence and distribution of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus at selected livestock-community interfaces.
Conducted microbiological surveillance at selected livestock-community interfaces in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
Screened biological and environmental isolates to identify ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
Identified the presence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli isolates across the sampled livestock-community contact zones.
Detected methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains, establishing these interface points as active reservoirs for multidrug-resistant pathogens.
