A global increase in the populations of drug resistant bacteria exerts negative effects on
animal production and human health. Our study has been focused on the assessment of …

The aim of this research was to identify the presence of integrons among Escherichia coli
strains isolated from poultry and swine and to characterize the topological association of …

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of antimicrobial resistance was conducted for 98
Escherichia coli isolates recovered from 40 food samples of animal origin (poultry, sheep …

Abstract Background Avian-pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) are pathogenic strains of E.
coli that are responsible for one of the most predominant bacterial disease affecting poultry …

Multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli can contaminate food meat during processing and
cause human infection. Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of the antimicrobial …

The antimicrobial resistance phenotype and genotype, the flanking regions of sulphonamide
resistance genes and the integrons were analyzed in 166 Escherichia coli isolates …

Fifty-five Escherichia coli isolates were acquired from chicken and turkey meat obtained from
two slaughterhouses in Tunis. Eighty-nine percent, 80%, 78%, 67%, 45%, 27%, 7%, 4 …

The prevalence of trimethoprim (TMP) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) resistance in
commensal E. coli from pigs was tested in this study. E. coli was derived from three groups of …

Multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in food animals are a potential problem in both animal
and human health. In this study, MDR commensal Escherichia coli isolates from poultry were …

A prospective study was conducted to determine the prevalence and the gene-cassette
content of class 1 integrons in Escherichia coli of poultry and human origin. A total of 235 E …
