Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Studies on antibiotic resistance in calves rarely differentiate between production systems or younger and older calf groups within farms and commonly rely on non-selective laboratory methods. We investigated the qualitative farm-level detection and genetic diversity of antimicrobial-resistant E. coli from calves in different production systems in Germany using selective culture. Production systems...
