Unconsidered microorganisms, such as may be often recovered from food samples. This study aimed to characterize seven recovered from traditional market chicken meat in Lima, Peru. Antimicrobial susceptibility to 18 antimicrobial agents as well as the presence of amino acid changes in fluoroquinolone targets, 10 mediated colistin resistance () genes and integrons were analyzed.

The aim of this study was to analyze AMR and its risk factors in isolated from dogs at two veterinary centers in Lima (Peru).
Materials And Methods: Ninety dogs were included in the study.
This study aimed to analyze Escherichia coli from marketed meat samples in Peru. Sixty-six E. coli isolates were recovered from 21 meat samples (14 chicken, 7 beef), and antimicrobial resistance levels and the presence of mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, as well as clonal relationships and phylogeny of colistin-resistant isolates, were established.

The overuse and misuse of antimicrobials has resulted in the spread of antimicrobial-resistant microorganisms in humans, animals and the environment. Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance provides important information contributing to understanding dissemination within these environments.
