Presence of ESBL/AmpC-producing Escherichia coli in the broiler production pyramid: a descriptive study.
Broilers and broiler meat products are highly contaminated with extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) or plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli and are considered to be a source for human infections. Both horizontal and vertical transmission might play a role in the presen...
