The prevalence of ESBL- and/or AmpC-producing E. coli from meat samples in Thailand remains poorly understood. This study investigated the prevalence of ESBL- and AmpC-encoding genes from poultry meat samples obtained from both open-air and supermarkets as well as determined E. coli pathogenicity groups.

Samplings of fresh poultry meat were performed in 29 open-air markets and 22 supermarkets in Phitsanulok province, Northern Thailand. A total of 250 poultry meat samples (chicken ¼ 218, duck ¼ 14, bird ¼ 18) from open-air markets (n ¼ 147) and supermarkets (n ¼ 103) were sampled. Frozen poultry meat was excluded from the study
