Antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolates from domestic pigeons in Hungary.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This cross-sectional observational study aimed to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of Escherichia coli isolates from domestic pigeons (Columba livia domestica) in Hungary.

Methods

A total of 134 non-redundant isolates were obtained from oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs collected across multiple geographic regions. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted using the microdilution method, following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were determined for a panel of antibiotics relevant to both veterinary and human medicine. Resistance patterns were analyzed using statistical tools including hierarchical clustering, network graph analysis, decision tree modeling,
