Abstract excerpt
Presence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)- and AmpC β-lactamase (pAmpC)-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL/pAmpC-EC) in humans and animals is alarming due to the associated risks of antibiotic therapy failure. ESBL/pAmpC-EC transmission between the human and animal compartments remains controversial. Using cefotaxime-supplemented (selective) media, we recently showed high sample prevalence of ESBL/pAmpC-EC...
