Role of coresistance in the development of resistance to chloramphenicol in Escherichia coli isolated from sick cattle and pigs

Abstract

Coresistance that develops because of the use of DSM and TMP in cattle and pigs apparently contributes to the selection of CP-resistant strains of E coli. Thus, it is possible that bacterial resistance to CP in animals would persist despite a ban on the use of CP in cattle and pigs.
