Interrelationship between tetracycline resistance determinants phylogenetic group affiliation and carriage of class 1 integrons in commensal Escherichia coli isolates from cattle farms

摘要

BackgroundCarriage of antibiotic-resistant foodborne pathogens by food production animals is one of many contributors to treatment failure in health care settings, and it necessitates an integrated approach to investigate the carriage of resistant pathogens harboring integrons in food-producing animals.
