Cross-Sectional Survey of Antibiotic Resistance in Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i> Isolated from Pigs in Greece

Cross-Sectional Survey of Antibiotic Resistance in Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i> Isolated from Pigs in Greece

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing (ESBL) bacteria in swine. Thus, 214 fecal samples were collected from suckling and weaned piglets from 34 farms in Greece (out of an overall population of about 14,300 sows). A subset of 78 (36.5%) ESBL producers...
