Survey data on antibiotic use in humans and animals, poultry keeping practices, waste disposal and hygiene in Bangladesh (2017)

A cross-sectional, interviewer-administered survey was conducted in 2017 in rural households, poultry farms and urban food markets. Survey data for each setting comprise three datafiles. The rural households and poultry farms (broiler chickens) were located in Mirzapur, Tangail district; urban food markets were located in Dhaka city, Bangladesh. In each setting, the survey included participants that had high exposure to poultry, and a comparison group that had lower exposure to poultry.

The aim of the survey was to assess potential sources of exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria, particularly commensal bacteria that colonise the gastrointestinal tract of humans and poultry. The survey also assessed the use of antibiotics for human participants and practices relating to their poultry such as type of feed, housing, use of antibiotics for poultry and hygiene practices before and after being in contact with poultry.

The survey was part of a wider research project, Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Antimicrobial Resistance Transmission from the Outdoor Environment to Humans in Urban and Rural Bangladesh. The research was funded by NERC/BBSRC/MRC on behalf of the Antimicrobial Resistance Cross-Council Initiative, award NE/N019555/1.

本研究于2017年针对农村家庭、家禽养殖场及城市食品市场开展了一项横断面访谈式调查。每类调研场景的调查数据均包含3个数据文件。本次调研涉及的农村家庭与肉鸡（broiler chickens）养殖场均位于孟加拉国坦盖尔县米尔扎普尔地区，城市食品市场则设于孟加拉国达卡市。在每类调研场景中，调查均纳入了高家禽接触人群与低家禽接触对照组人群。
本次调查的核心目标为评估抗生素耐药菌的潜在暴露来源，尤其是定植于人类与家禽胃肠道的共生菌。此外，调查还评估了人类受试者的抗生素使用情况，以及与家禽饲养相关的各类行为，包括饲料类型、饲养环境、家禽用抗生素使用情况，以及接触家禽前后的卫生操作规范。
本次调查是一项大型研究项目的组成部分，该项目题为《孟加拉国城乡地区抗菌耐药性从室外环境向人类传播的时空动态》（Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Antimicrobial Resistance Transmission from the Outdoor Environment to Humans in Urban and Rural Bangladesh）。本研究由英国自然环境研究理事会（NERC）、英国生物科学与生物技术研究理事会（BBSRC）及英国医学研究理事会（MRC）联合代表抗菌耐药性跨理事会倡议（Antimicrobial Resistance Cross-Council Initiative）资助，项目编号为NE/N019555/1。
