Antimicrobial resistance of enteric bacteria from an integrated population of swine and humans [abstract]. Proceedings of Allen D. Leman Swine Conference. 32(Suppl.):8. Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: In a longitudinal study, we examined the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and transmission dynamics of AMR in an integrated, semi-closed population of humans and swine. A total of 829 human and 857 swine Escherichia coli (EC) and a total of 345 human and 279 swine Enterococcus faecalis (EF) isolates were examined. Both EC and EF from swine were resistant to a greater number of antibiotics than EC and EF from humans. We were unable to demonstrate evidence for transfer of AMR from swine to humans or vice versa. |
