Abstract excerpt
The objective of the present study was to determine genomic characteristics of expanded-spectrum cephalosporin (ESC)-resistant Escherichia coli spreading in healthy broilers in Lebanon in 2018. Rectal swabs (n = 280) from 56 farms were screened for the presence of ESC-resistant E. coli isolates. Antimicrobial susceptibility and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)/AmpC production were determined by the disk...
