This study compares resistance patterns and phylogenetic profiles of intensive and free-range meat chickens and free-range layers in relation to phylogenetic types and phenotypic and genotypic resistance profiles.

A total of 311 faecal samples were sourced from selected farms (3) and abattoirs (3) in Adelaide, South Australia between December 2008 and June 2009: 155 from free range meat chickens, 69 from free range egg layer chickens and 87 from indoor commercial chickens. Faecal droppings were randomly collected from selected flocks from each study site into sterile containers using sterile swab sticks and transported on ice to laboratory within 2 h.
