- Objective
- The objectives of this study were to evaluate the role of stress hormones in the extent of Salmonella replication within extra-intestinal tissues of cattle (in particular, PLN), to perform whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on Salmonella isolates recovered from cattle samples (feces, hides and PLN) to explore common attributes that could confer a fitness advantage, and to perform WGS on a selection of non-type-specific E. coli isolates recovered from cattle feces that display a phenotype consistent with extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli which are resistant to many cephalosporins.
