ZOONOTIC BACTERIAL INFECTIONS: A COMMON THREAT TO HUMANS AND ANIMALS
Keywords:
zoonotic bacterial infections, salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis, brucellosis, antimicrobial resistance, Khorezm region.Abstract
This article examines the impact of zoonotic bacterial infections on public health and livestock, focusing on the principal etiological agents (Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Brucella spp.) and their epidemiological characteristics. Using Khorezm region as a case study, the analysis highlights risk factors related to sanitation, drinking water quality, and food safety. The spread of antibiotic-resistant strains is evaluated as a serious public health concern, underscoring the need to develop effective control measures.
