Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Several studies on faecal carriage of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)/AmpC-producing Escherichia coli have been performed in cattle, but little is known about faecal carriage in veal calves. This study describes the prevalence and molecular characteristics of ESBL/AmpC genes in E. coli isolated from faecal samples of veal calves from 1997 to 2010. METHODS: Pooled faecal samples were inoculated...
