Modeling the Impact of Management Changes on the Infection Dynamics of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> in the Broiler Production

Livestock animals, especially poultry, are a known reservoir for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing <i>Escherichia coli (E. coli)</i>. They may enter the pen either via positive day-old chicks or via the environment. We developed a mathematical model to illustrate the entr...
