Background: A global problem of multi-drug resistance (MDR) among bacteria is the cause
of hundreds of thousands of deaths every year. In response to the significant increase of …

Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) is one of the most serious threats for the swine industry
worldwide. It is commonly associated with the proliferation of enterotoxigenic Escherichia …

Abstract Background Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are one of the main bacteria
causing urinary tract infections (UTIs). The rates of UPEC with high resistance towards …

Escherichia coli is one of the most important causes of postweaning diarrhea in pigs. This
diarrhea is responsible for economic losses due to mortality, morbidity, decreased growth …

Bacterial plasmids are self-replicating, extrachromosomal elements that are key agents of
change in microbial populations. They promote the dissemination of a variety of traits …

Seventeen multiple-antibiotic-resistant nonpathogenic Escherichia coli strains of human,
animal, and food origins showed a wide variety of antibiotic resistance genes, many of them …

Wild animals not normally exposed to antimicrobial agents can acquire antimicrobial agent-
resistant bacteria through contact with humans and domestic animals and through the …

The rapid and accurate detection of antimicrobial resistance is critical to limiting the spread
of infections and delivering effective treatments. Here, we developed a rapid, sensitive, and …

Background Salmonella is one of major causes of foodborne outbreaks globally. This study
was conducted to estimate the prevalence, typing and antibiotic susceptibilities of …

ABSTRACT A total of 318 Escherichia coli isolates obtained from diarrheic and healthy pigs
in Ontario from 2001 to 2003 were examined for their susceptibility to 19 antimicrobial …
