As emphasized by the One Health framework, the food production chain, especially poultry, serves as a critical point for monitoring AMR emergence and spread. In this study, we conducted a culture-independent screening of 27 antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) relevant to both human and veterinary health using cloacal samples collected from 9 farms across two of Egypt\u2019s major poultry-producing cities. Alongside ARG screening, farm-level risk and managemental factors were assessed. Results showed that broiler farms had notably higher antimicrobial usage (AMU) and ARG prevalence compared to layer farms.

Beta-lactam and sulphonamide resistance genes were widespread in both production systems. Key risk factors associated with increased ARG richness included bird type, lower farm biosecurity scores, summer season, diseased birds, use of multiple antibiotic classes and absence of veterinary prescriptions.
