“…More than 70 % of turkey meat samples were positive to multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae, with significantly lower values for beef (15 %) and chicken (30 %) (Kim et al, 2005). In Côte d'Ivoire, the presence of K. pneumoniae in restaurants on the university campus in Abidjan has been studied, as well as its profile of resistance to various antimicrobials, being up to 20.8 % in fish soup samples and 37 % in fried fish samples (Kone et al, 2022). Concern for this microorganism has also reached Europe, with a multicentre study being conducted to develop Klebsiella detection methodologies and also to study the prevalence in ready-to-eat chicken meat and salads (Rodrigues et al, 2022).…”
