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

Open AccessMolecular characterization of multi drug resistant Escherichia coli isolates at a tertiary hospital in Abuja, Nigeria
Infections caused by multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli cause significant morbidity and mortality especially in develo** countries. In this study, we describe the molecular characteristics of E. coli isolate...

Open AccessColonization with multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae among infants: an observational study in southern Sri Lanka
The timing of and risk factors for intestinal colonization with multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (MDRE) are still poorly understood in areas with high MDRE carriage. We determined the prevalence, timing, an...

Open AccessGenetic relatedness of multidrug resistant Escherichia coli isolated from humans, chickens and poultry environments
Inappropriate use of antimicrobial agents in animal production has led to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in foodborne pathogens. Transmission of AMR foodborne pathogens from reservoirs, part...

Open AccessExtended-spectrum ß-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli among humans, chickens and poultry environments in Abuja, Nigeria
Globally, chicken is known to be a reservoir for the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes to humans. In Nigeria, antimicrobial drugs are readily accessible for use in poultry production, either for prevent...

Antibiotic Usage in Poultry Production and Antimicrobial-Resistant Salmonella in Poultry
“Post-antibiotic era” is not an imaginary word anymore and seems to be a real possibility with increased number of bacterial pathogens being reported as multidrug resistant (MDR). Indiscriminate use of antimic...

Open AccessWhole genome sequencing analysis of multiple Salmonella serovars provides insights into phylogenetic relatedness, antimicrobial resistance, and virulence markers across humans, food animals and agriculture environmental sources
Salmonella enterica is a significant foodborne pathogen, which can be transmitted via several distinct routes, and reports on acquisition of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are increasing. To better understand the...
