Multi-Resistant E. coli In Long-Distance Migratory Geese: How Greylag Geese (Anser anser) And Pink-Footed Geese (Anser brachyrhynchus) Can Act As Vectors For Antimicrobial Resistance
Migratory birds can carry antimicrobial resistant E. coli over large distances. Recent studies show antimicrobial resistance in bacteria from wildlife, carrying resistance genes against drugs listed on the “WHO’s List of Essential Medicines”. During autumn 2015 and 2019, a total of 201 cloaca sample...

Migratory birds can carry antimicrobial resistant E. coli over large distances. Recent studies show antimicrobial resistance in bacteria from wildlife, carrying resistance genes against drugs listed on the “WHO’s List of Essential Medicines”.
