Antimicrobial Resistance Genes in Clinical Escherichia coli Strains from Livestock and Poultry in Shandong Province, China During 2015-2020.

ABSTRACT: Antimicrobial resistant (AMR) Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolated from animals may lead to antibiotic treatment failure and economic losses to farmers. The co-existence of antimicrobial resistant genes (ARGs) in the same isolate presents a major challenge for the prevention and control of infection in multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative organisms. There have been a lot of studies on the antibiotic resistance of E. coli in livestock and poultry, but few of them have focused on clinical pathogens. Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the genetic characteristics, co-occurrence, and correlations between ARGs of E. coli isolated from the pathological tissues of livestock and poultry in Shandong Province, East China during 2015-2020.
