Susceptibility of Commensal <i>E. coli</i> Isolated from Conventional, Antibiotic-Free, and Organic Meat Chickens on Farms and at Slaughter toward Antimicrobials with Public Health Relevance
The spread of resistant bacteria from livestock to the food industry promoted an increase of alternative poultry production systems, such as organic and antibiotic-free ones, based on the lack of antimicrobial use, except in cases in which welfare is compromised. We aimed to investigate the antibiot...

The spread of resistant bacteria from livestock to the food industry promoted an increase of alternative poultry production systems, such as organic and antibiotic-free ones, based on the lack of antimicrobial use, except in cases in which welfare is compromised. We aimed to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility of commensal <i>E</i><i>scherichia c</i><i>oli</i> isolated from organic, antibiotic-free, and conventional broiler farms and slaughterhouses toward several antimicrobials critically important for human health. To assess antimicrobial susceptibility, all <i>E. coli</i> isolates and extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) <i>E. coli</i> were analysed by the microdilution method. The prevalence of tigecycline, azithromycin and gentamicin <i>E. coli</i>-resistant strains was highest in organic samplings. Conversely, the lowest prevalence of resistant <i>E. coli</i> strains was observed for cefotaxime, ceftazidime and ciprofloxacin in organic systems, representing a significant protective factor compared to conventional systems.
