Occurrence of Florfenicol and Linezolid Resistance and Emergence of optrA Gene in Campylobacter coli Isolates from Tunisian Avian Farms

Abstract excerpt

Campylobacter species, especially C. coli and C. jejuni, have been associated with a range of human gastrointestinal diseases. During the last two decades, due to the irrational use of antibiotics in poultry farms, high rates of antimicrobial resistance have been globally reported in C. coli and C. jejuni isolates. Recently, acquired linezolid‐resistance mechanisms have been reported in Campylobacter spp....
