Poultry has been suggested as a reservoir for multidrug-resistant E. coli strains causing extraintestinal infections in humans, then characterization of strains from both hosts can add useful data for the evaluation of the potential zoonotic risk. The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance of E. coli isolates from healthy poultry fecal samples, collected in a defined geographic area of Lazio region was surveyed. We analysed E. coli isolates from human extraintestinal infections and animal source, respect to multidrug resistance profile, virulence factors (VFs) and phylogenetic group.

Abstract
Poultry has been suggested as a reservoir for multidrug-resistant E. coli strains causing extraintestinal infections in humans, then characterization of strains from both hosts can add useful data for the evaluation of the potential zoonotic risk. The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance of E. coli isolates from healthy poultry fecal samples, collected in a defined geographic area of Lazio region was surveyed. We analysed E. coli isolates from human extraintestinal infections and animal source, respect to multidrug resistance profile, virulence factors (VFs) and phylogenetic group.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
