This research project in Malawi investigates the patterns of antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli isolated from poultry, humans, and the environment. Preliminary results reveal insights into knowledge, attitudes, practices, and microbiological aspects related to antibiotic use. The study aims to address the global threat of antimicrobial resistance through a One Health approach, highlighting the interconnectedness between animal, human, and environmental health.
