Mapping the spread of fluoroquinolone resistance: continued presence of non-susceptible Escherichia coli in broilers
The continued presence of FQ non-susceptible <i>E. coli</i> in broiler farms is likely the result of both a historical contamination at the farm level and a continuous influx along the production chain. AMU contributes to the continued presence of FQ non-susceptible <i>E. coli</i> in broiler farms, but accounted for only a small proportion of the variability in FQ non-susceptibility in currently investigated farms. The role of certain virulence-associated genes in the persistence of FQ non-susceptible <i>E. coli</i> in broiler farms deserves more in-depth research.
