Rising fluoroquinolone resistance in Campylobacter isolated from feedlot cattle in the United States

Abstract Antibiotic resistance, particularly to fluoroquinolones and macrolides, in the major foodborne pathogen Campylobacter is considered a serious threat to public health. Although ruminant animals serve as a significant reservoir for Campylobacter, limited information is available on antibiotic...
