Acquired resistome and plasmid sequencing of - carrying MDR Enterobacteriaceae from poultry and their relationship to STs associated with humans.

Objectives: To investigate the acquired resistome in 18 colistin-resistant isolated from different poultry farms in Lebanon, analyse Inc plasmids associated with and assess potential transmission to humans.

Methods: A total of 18 were recovered from poultry faeces collected from different poultry farms in Lebanon. Broth microdilution (BMD) assay was performed to determine the antimicrobial resistance profiles.
