Abstract
Camel meat is extensively consumed across various regions" especially in the Middle East. Klebsiella Pneumoniae screening was performed on 100 camel meat samples from Diwaniyah, Iraq, slaughterhouses. Foodborne Klebsiella Pneumoniae was associated with multiple complications. The investigation revealed this bacterium in 38% of the samples"m Many isolates were tetracycline and ampicillin resistant. Testing indicated that gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, and imipenem were more effective against isolates. They tested the isolates' pathogenicity and resistance genes with PCR. The ecp A adhesin-encoding gene found in several isolates78.9%, Many isolates have the blaNDM gene26.3%, during the research and khe hemolysin gene 57.9%. Most isolates resist to Tetracycline and Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole The research emphasizes food antibiotic resistance monitoring and animal processing and slaughter hygiene. Public health and infectious disease prevention rely on it. Viral and multidrug-resistant Klebsiella Pneumoniae in camel meat needs more research. The research stresses the need of food antibiotic resistance monitoring and meat processing and slaughter sanitation. Public health and foodborne disease prevention rely on this. More study is needed on viral and multidrug-resistant Klebsiella Pneumoniae in camels.
