An innovative treatment paves the way for reducing antimicrobial resistance in the treatment of a deadly infection in chickens, according to an international team of researchers led by the University of Surrey. The groundbreaking study investigated the effectiveness of a novel metal-derived complex in treating Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), a serious respiratory infection of chickens that has become increasingly more resistant to antibiotics. A growing body of evidence indicates that the APEC could potentially spread to humans.
