Incidence & Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Foodborne (Salmonella & Campylobacter) & Commensal Bacteria from the NAHMS Feedlot Cattle Study

Objective

Determine the incidence and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella, Campylobacter, E. coli, enterococcus, and C. difficile from feedlot cattle in the United States

More information

Approach:<br/>
Fecal samples will be sampled by cultural microbiological techniques to determine bacterial presence. Sensititre microdilution plates will be used to determine antimicroibial resistance.
