Assessing the potential impacts of California Senate Bill 27 (SB27) on the antimicrobial susceptibility of <i>Escherichia coli</i> from raw meat
Our findings suggest that the downward trends in antimicrobial resistance among E. coli populations from California-produced chicken products reflect national trends. It is possible that the California SB27 legislation helped motivate industry-wide decreases in antimicrobial use among broiler chicken producers. Alternatively, the changes observed in California may have been driven by industry-wide trends independent of SB27. The lack of publicly available data regarding actual antimicrobial use in California and non-California broiler chicken production limits our ability to make stronger conclusions about our observations. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP16115.
