Description:
Chopped broiler chicken in a plastic bag belonging to a consumer at a meat shop. Recently, a newly identified and highly infectious bacterium, Escherichia albertii, has been detected in broiler chicken meat in Bangladesh. Closely related to E. coli, this more dangerous variant has been linked to severe gastrointestinal illness, kidney complications, and foodborne outbreaks in Japan, affecting over 100 people. E. albertii also contributes to antibiotic resistance. Studies show that infection with this bacterium carries a 94% chance of rendering at least one antibiotic ineffective, posing a major health risk for future generations. Chittagong, Bangladesh.
