Abstract excerpt
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) carried by asymptomatic individuals constitute an important reservoir for community transmission, but large-scale analyses of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in carrier-derived STEC remain limited. In this study, to obtain fundamental information relevant to the eradication of STEC carriage, we analyzed 495 STEC strains isolated from stool-screened asymptomatic...
