| Popis: | To assess the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in Nigeria, single Escherichia coliisolates were collected from a geographically diverse panel of fecal samples collected from human clinical and non-clinical donors (n=77), livestock (cattle, swine, and goats) and chickens (n=71 total). There was no difference in the proportion of isolates resistant to ≥1 antibiotics from human clinical and non-clinical samples, but overall, this was significantly higher for human (85.7%) compared to animal (53.5%) isolates (P |
