Migrating birds have been implicated in pathogen dissemination over long distances. The lack of data on the intestinal microbiota of birds makes these animals a promising path in order to understand their potential role in the transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This study aimed to investigate the diversity of enterococcal species, and to analyse the antimicrobial-resistant phenotypes/genotypes, as...
