Genetic Basis of Multiple Antibiotic Resistance of Pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> Strains Isolated from Livestock Complexes in Krasnodar Krai, Russia.

ABSTRACT: Antimicrobial resistance is a serious problem in veterinary medicine worldwide. Given that farm animals are considered to be among the sources of infectious disease pathogens in humans, studying the genetic diversity of pathogenic microorganisms isolated from them and identifying strains that are potentially pathogenic to humans is a primary research task nowadays. The current paper provides a comprehensive characterization of 4 Escherichia coli strains that caused colibacillosis in farm animals. Along with a description of morphological and biochemical characteristics, data on antibiotic sensitivity are presented, and a multiple antibiotic resistance index is calculated. In order to identify the genetic basis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), whole-genome sequencing was performed,
