Risk factors for faecal colonisation with Escherichia coli producing extended‐spectrum and plasmid‐mediated AmpC β‐lactamases in dogs
19 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors for faecal carriage of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and plasmidic AmpC β-lactamase (pAmpC) Escherichia coli producers in dogs. A three-month cross-sectional study was conducted and 151 rectal swabs were obtained from healthy dogs. ESBL and pAmpC genes were detected by PCR and were sequenced. Logistic regression models were used to...
