Phenotypic and molecular characterizations of multidrug-resistant diarrheagenic E. coli of calf origin

Abstract Escherichia coli has become one of the most important causes of calf diarrhea. The aim of this study is to determine the patterns of antimicrobial resistance of E. coli isolates from six cattle farms and to identify prominent resistance genes and virulence genes among the strains isolated f...
