Changes in antimicrobial resistance patterns and dominance of extended spectrum β-lactamase genes among faecal Escherichia coli isolates from broilers and workers during two rearing periods
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli, especially extended–spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)–producing strains, in the intestinal tract of broilers could be a threat to poultry and human. We investigated changes of antimicrobial resistance patterns and frequency of ESBL genes among faecal...
