Genetic relatedness of third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli among livestock, farmers, and patients in Japan
9 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
The third-generation cephalosporin (3GC)-resistant E. coli strains have been detected worldwide in humans and animals. Hence, in this study, we evaluated the prevalence and genetic characteristics of 3GC-resistant E. coli in livestock, farmers, and patients to further analyse if livestock serves as a potential reservoir of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Faecal samples were collected from 330 healthy livestock...
