Extended-spectrum β-lactamases producing multidrug resistance Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Klebsiella pneumoniae in pig population of Assam and Meghalaya, India

Abstract

AIM: from pig population of Assam and Meghalaya and to record the ability of the resistant bacteria to transfer the resistance genes horizontally. MATERIALS AND METHODS: horizontal gene transfer (HGT) method. RESULTS: in the transfer of resistance genes. CONCLUSION: . The isolates are also capable to transfer their resistance trait to other bacterial species by HGT. The present finding could be considered as a serious public health concern as similar trait can also be transmitted to the human commensal bacteria as well as pathogens.
