A Joint Regional Analysis of Resistance Combinations in Escherichia coli in Humans and Different Food-Producing Animal Populations in Germany Between 2014 and 2017.

ABSTRACT: A joint comparative regional analysis of different resistance combinations across human and veterinary medicine has not been previously conducted in Germany. This study analyses 16 resistance combinations from four antibiotics in E. coli from different human and food-producing animal populations in three German regions: East, North West and South West. The E. coli data were collected from the three national surveillance and monitoring systems for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) bacteria in humans (ARS), food-safety (Zoonosis Monitoring) and animal pathogens (GERM-Vet) from January 2014 to December 2017. Analyses were performed using cluster analysis (hierarchical clustering, average linkage) in R. We included data from 537,215 E. coli isolates from human clinical
