Quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli at the interface between humans, poultry and their shared environment- a potential public health risk

Quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli at the interface between humans, poultry and their shared environment- a potential public health risk

Abstract Background Commensal Escherichia coli residing in the guts of humans and animals are reservoirs of multidrug resistance (MDR) genes, including quinolone resistance genes, in humans and poultry. This study aimed to characterize quinolones resistance in E. coli recovered from poultry workers,...
