The objectives of this study were to 1) Determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and resistance genes, multidrug resistance (MDR), chromosomal mechanisms of quinolone-resistance and virulence profiles of E. coli isolated from healthy chicken farms in the region of Dakar, Senegal at both isolate and farm levels, 2) investigate the spread of 3GC nonsusceptibility in E. coli isolated from healthy chicken farms with respect to virulence and resistance genes, serogroups, PFGE, phylogenetic groups, plasmid types and transferability and 3) determine whether nonsusceptibility against 3GC on farms could be linked to risk factors.

A cross-sectional study was conducted on private poultry farms located in the area of Dakar, Senegal. A list of farms present in the study area was provided by the Senegal Livestock Department and was updated with private veterinarians in the study area. A total of 68 farms located in 17 boroughs around the city of Dakar were identified
