Antimicrobial resistance pattern of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing isolated from fecal samples of piglets and pig farm workers of selected organized farms of India.

Background And Aim: Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing are gradually increasing worldwide and carry a serious public threat. This study aimed to determine the antimicrobial resistance pattern of ESBL-producing isolated from fecal samples of piglets and pig farm workers.

Materials And Methods: Fecal samples from <3-month-old piglets (n=156) and farm workers (n=21) were processed for the isolation of ESBL-producing in MacConkey agar added with 1 µg/mL of cefotaxime.
