The emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains complicates treatment and increases the risk of multidrug-resistant (MDR). In Morocco, data on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles in poultry-associated\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    remain limited. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and AMR patterns of\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. isolated from poultry samples collected in Morocco in 2023. A total of 1339 poultry samples (ceca, turkey, and chicken meat) were collected using a representative stratified sampling approach from slaughterhouses, farms, and retail markets across the 10 regional directorates of Morocco. The isolation of\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. was performed according to ISO 6579-1:2017, and identification was confirmed via matrix-assisted laser desorption\/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. Antimicrobial susceptibility to 15 antibiotics was evaluated using Sensititre EUVSEC3 plates. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were interpreted according to epidemiological cutoff values established by the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing. MDR was defined as resistance to at least one antimicrobial agent in three or more antibiotic classes.\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. were detected in 155 out of the 1339 samples, with an overall prevalence of 11.6% and regional variation. The category-specific prevalence was 13.8% (48\/348) for chicken meat, 12.3% (45\/367) for turkey meat, and 10.0% (62\/624) for cecal samples. Resistance to nalidixic acid (94.2%), ciprofloxacin (92.3%), tetracycline (63.9%), ampicillin (36.8%), trimethoprim (27.7%), chloramphenicol (16.1%), gentamicin (10.3%), cefotaxime (4.5%), amikacin (3.9%), and ceftazidime (0.6%) was detected, whereas resistance to meropenem was not detected. Overall, 69.7% of the isolates were classified as multidrug-resistant and were mainly resistant to quinolones, tetracyclines, and beta-lactams. These findings highlight the need for strengthened antimicrobial stewardship, improved surveillance, and stricter regulation of antibiotic use in poultry production to reduce public health risks.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15353141261494907","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,8]],"date-time":"2026-10-08T05:20:02Z","timestamp":1791436802000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study of the Prevalence and MIC-Based Antimicrobial Resistance of\n                    <i>Salmonella<\/i>\n                    spp. in Poultry in Morocco"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"given":"Hajar","family":"Esserghini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Laboratory in Drug Sciences, Mohammed VI Faculty of Pharmacy, Mohammed VI University of Sciences and Health (UM6SS), Casablanca, Morocco."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zineb","family":"Soubai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biology and Health, Faculty of Sciences of K\u00e9nitra, Ibn Tofail University, K\u00e9nitra, Morocco."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dhaud Odei","family":"Ansong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Precision Medicine and One Health (MedPreOne), Mohammed VI Faculty of Medicine, Mohammed VI University of Sciences and Health, Casablanca, Morocco."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Najib","family":"Al Idrissi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Precision Medicine and One Health (MedPreOne), Mohammed VI Faculty of Medicine, Mohammed VI University of Sciences and Health, Casablanca, Morocco."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salsabil","family":"Hamdi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virology and Public Health Laboratory, Serum and Vaccine Center (Institut Pasteur du Maroc), Casablanca, Morocco."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lhousaine","family":"Balouch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Laboratory in Drug Sciences, Mohammed VI Faculty of Pharmacy, Mohammed VI University of Sciences and Health (UM6SS), Casablanca, Morocco."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adnane","family":"Benmoussa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Laboratory in Drug Sciences, Mohammed VI Faculty of Pharmacy, Mohammed VI University of Sciences and Health (UM6SS), Casablanca, Morocco."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hassan","family":"Ghazal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Precision Medicine and One Health (MedPreOne), Mohammed VI Faculty of Medicine, Mohammed VI University of Sciences and Health, Casablanca, Morocco."},{"name":"Laboratory of Sports Sciences and Performance Optimization, Department of Sports Sciences, Royal Institute of Executive Management, Sale, Morocco."},{"name":"National Center for Scientific and Technical Research (CNRST), Rabat, Morocco."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadia","family":"Ziyate","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pharmacy and Veterinary Inputs, National Office for Food Safety (ONSSA), Rabat, Morocco."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-4105-6439","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fadil","family":"Bakkali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Laboratory in Drug Sciences, Mohammed VI Faculty of Pharmacy, Mohammed VI University of Sciences and Health (UM6SS), Casablanca, Morocco."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodcont.2018.02.039"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3855\/jidc.8026"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3855\/jidc.103"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/cix059"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/ciw475"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.micpath.2017.02.042"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_3_3_8_1","first-page":"20","article-title":"Prevalence, antibio-resistance and risk factors for Salmonella in broiler turkey farms in the province of Kh\u00e9misset (Morocco)","volume":"4","author":"El Allaoui A","year":"2014","unstructured":"El Allaoui A, , Filali FR, , Ameur N, et al.
