Genetic Basis and Clonal Population Structure of Antibiotic Resistance in Campylobacter jejuni Isolated From Broiler Carcasses in Belgium ... : الأساس الوراثي والهيكل السكاني النسلي لمقاومة المضادات الحيوية في العطيفة الصائمية المعزولة عن جثث الدجاج اللاحم في بلجيكا ...

Human campylobacteriosis is the leading food-borne zoonosis in industrialized countries. This study characterized the population structure, antimicrobial resistance profiles and occurrence of antimicrobial resistance determinants of a set of Campylobacter jejuni strains isolated from broiler carcasses in Belgium. Minimum inhibitory concentrations against five commonly-used antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid, tetracycline, gentamicin, and erythromycin) were determined for 204 C. jejuni isolates. More than half of the isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin or nalidixic acid. In contras... Mehr ...
