High Prevalence and Diversity Characteristics of bla_NDM, mcr, and bla_ESBLs Harboring Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli From Chicken, Pig, and Cattle in China.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to understand the diversity characteristics of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) in chicken, pig, and cattle. A high prevalence of ESBL-EC (260/344) was observed in all food animals with prevalence rates of 78.6% (110/140) for chicken, 70.7% (58/82) for cattle, and 75.4% (92/122) for swine. However, the resistance rates presented significant differences in different animal origin ESBL-EC, where resistance to CTX, GEN, IMP, NEO, and OFL was the highest in chicken ESBL-EC, then in cattle, and the lowest in swine. Seriously, most ESBL-EC harbor multidrug resistance to antibiotics (MDR, ≥3 antibiotic categories), and the MDR rates of ESBL-EC were the highest in chicken (98.18%), followed by swine (93.48%), and the lowest in cow (58.62%), while the
