Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Profiles of Gram-Negative Bacteria Isolated from Loggerhead Sea Turtles (<i>Caretta caretta</i>) of the Island of Maio, Cape Verde

Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Profiles of Gram-Negative Bacteria Isolated from Loggerhead Sea Turtles (<i>Caretta caretta</i>) of the Island of Maio, Cape Verde

Previous studies revealed high levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in loggerhead sea turtles (<i>Caretta caretta</i>), describing this species as prime reservoir of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. This study aimed to characterise, for the first time, the AMR and virulence profiles...
