Detection of antimicrobial resistance genes in extended spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli from milk of indigenous Beetal goats of Punjab.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a burning issue in the present era. Mastitis in dairy animals is one of the most important causes of huge production loss to dairy farmers. Aims: The study aims to find the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance profile, and resistance genes in the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in mastitic milk.

Methods

A total of 125 milk samples were collected from Beetal goats suffering from clinical mastitis from different districts of Punjab and processed for bacterial isolation and further identification. The drug resistance profile of ESBL-producing E. coli and its associations with molecular markers was analyzed using statistical analysis.

Results

The prevalence of ESBL-producing E
