Resumen

The study presents a narrative review on antimicrobial resistance in Campylobacter spp strains isolated from meats and offal of animals intended for human consumption. In total, 1067 articles on antibiotic resistance in Campylobacter spp strains published between 2012 and 2022 were retrieved from databases such as PubMed and SciELO, from which 26 articles were selected and analysed. The prevalence of Campylobacter spp varied according to the type of sample, country and species, being higher in raw poultry meat (chicken and turkey). The studies revealed high frequencies of resistance to quinolones, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines and other antibiotics. Resistance to macrolides, aminoglycosides and some antibiotics was lower, with exceptions in isolates from cattle and pigs. It is concluded that there are high rates of resistance in Campylobacter spp strains from poultry meat in the last decade, especially chicken sold in markets. ©Los autores.
