Assessing the Load, Virulence and Antibiotic-Resistant Traits of ESBL/Ampc <i>E. coli</i> from Broilers Raised on Conventional, Antibiotic-Free, and Organic Farms

Assessing the Load, Virulence and Antibiotic-Resistant Traits of ESBL/Ampc <i>E. coli</i> from Broilers Raised on Conventional, Antibiotic-Free, and Organic Farms

Poultry is the most likely source of livestock-associated Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) and plasmid-mediated AmpC (pAmpC)-producing <i>E. coli</i> (EC) for humans. We tested the hypothesis that farming methods have an impact on the load of ESBL/pAmpC-EC in the gut of broilers a...
