Reservoirs of antibiotic-resistant Enterobacteriaceae among animals sympatric to humans in Senegal: extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in bacteria in a black rat (Rattus rattus) ...
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) In Senegal, rectal swabs from cattle, wild rodents and chiropterans were cultured for Enterobacteriaceae. Isolates were tested for susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Two cefotaxime-resistant isolates were found in a black rat (Rattus rattus): a...

| Summary: | (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) In Senegal, rectal swabs from cattle, wild rodents and chiropterans were cultured for Enterobacteriaceae. Isolates were tested for susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Two cefotaxime-resistant isolates were found in a black rat (Rattus rattus): a multiresistant Escherichia coli with blaCTX-M-15 gene and Enterobacter cloacae resistant to ampicillin and cephalotin with blaTEM-52b gene. Sympatric rats in Senegal may represent an important reservoir for antibiotic-resistant. Enterobacteriaceae including extended-spectrum beta-lactamases producing isolates. ... |
