Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profiles of <i>Escherichia coli</i> Isolates from Clinical Cases of Geese in Hungary Between 2022 and 2023.

ABSTRACT: Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses an increasing threat to animal health and food safety. In the poultry sector, particularly in waterfowl farming, the widespread use of antibiotics may contribute to the dissemination of resistant Escherichia coli strains. This study aims to map the antibiotic resistance profiles of E. coli isolates from geese in Hungary, determine the prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains, and analyze resistance patterns and co-resistance relationships. Methods: E. coli isolates from clinical cases between 2022 and 2023 were examined using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination. Susceptibility results were evaluated based on the Clinical Laboratory Standard Instit
