ABSTRACT


Introduction: Benin's agropastoral sector, encompassing poultry, cattle, and fish, faces significant challenges due to insufficient information on livestock management and the emergence of pathogenic resistant strains such as Salmonella spp and Escherichia coli, which could potentially transfer to humans. Breeders often lack adequate training and resort to self-administering animal treatments, leading to a rapid increase in foodborne illnesses. This poses a severe threat to public health, resulting in high rates of mortality and morbidity in both animals and humans from zoonotic bacteria resistant to antibiotics. Objective: Given the urgent need to address these challenges, this review aims to contribute to the documentation of agropastoral farms in southern Benin. Specifically, it focuses on elucidating the microbiological profile of predominant strains, assessing antibiotic resistance patterns, and identifying the constraints hindering the development of the agropastoral sector. Methods: To achieve these objectives, a comprehensive review of existing literature on Benin's agropastoral sector, microbiological profiles of pathogenic strains, and antibiotic resistance patterns was conducted. Relevant databases were searched, and studies addressing the specified objectives were critically analyzed to extract pertinent information. Results: The review revealed a concerning microbiological profile characterized by the prevalence of pathogenic strains such as Salmonella spp and Escherichia coli in Benin's agropastoral sector. Furthermore, antibiotic resistance among these strains was found to be widespread, posing significant challenges to both animal health and public safety. The excessive use of antibiotics in breeding practices was identified as a primary driver of antibiotic resistance, highlighting the urgent need for improved management practices and regulatory measures. Conclusion: In conclusion, this review underscores the critical need for enhanced documentation and understanding of Benin's agropastoral sector, particularly regarding microbiological profiles and antibiotic resistance patterns. Addressing the identified constraints, including inadequate training among breeders and the unregulated use of antibiotics, is essential to safeguarding both animal and human health in southern Benin. Efforts to promote sustainable livestock management practices and mitigate antibiotic resistance are imperative for the long-term viability and development of the agropastoral sector in the region.
