The hypothesis of this study was that the type of production has an impact on the prevalence and load of ESBL/AmpC-EC in the gut of broilers at slaughter. The isolates were described in terms of antibiotic resistance, and we further investigated a subset of isolates in terms of ST and virulence types using whole genome sequencing (WGS) to elucidate their potential for zoonotic infection.
The sampling was performed as previously described from the same research group [16]. Briefly, from February 2017 to January 2018, 809 cecal contents belonging from different production systems farms were processed: antibiotic-free (AF, n = 292), organic (O, n = 246) and conventional (C, n = 271). The samples were from 11 (AF), 10 (C) and 9 (O) different productive farm systems.
