ANTIMICROBIAL CONSUMPTION AND EXTENDED-SPECTRUM Β-LACTAMASE (ESBL)-PRODUCING ESCHERICHIA COLI IN ITALIAN FATTENING UNITS

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli represents a risk for both human and pig health. Furthermore, antimicrobials misuses may increase ESBL spread. The aim of this study was to investigate, in latter stages of production, relationships between presence of ESBL-producing E. coli and antimicrobial consumption.
