Abstract

This study is the first to investigate prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) and ESBL-producing faecal Escherichia coli within 84 veterinary hospital staff and student members across three UK veterinary hospitals. Longitudinal carriage was followed for six weeks in 27 of the participants. MDR...
