Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of contamination and genetic diversity of Escherichia coli in beef cattle.
Mueen Aslam,F.M. Nattress,G. Gordon Greer,Christopher K. Yost,Colin O. Gill,Lynn M. McMullen +5 more
TL;DR: The possible origin of beef contamination and genetic diversity of Escherichia coli populations in beef cattle was examined by using random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and PCR-RFLP analysis of the fliC gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic and genetic characterization of antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella serovars isolated from retail meats in Alberta, Canada.
Mueen Aslam,Sylvia Checkley,Brent P. Avery,Gabhan Chalmers,Valerie M. Bohaychuk,Gary Gensler,Richard J. Reid-Smith,Patrick Boerlin +7 more
TL;DR: The data suggests that the prevalence of Salmonella serovars vary by the meat type and that AMR and resistance genes varied by the Salmoneella serovar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes in Enterococcus spp. isolated from retail meats in Alberta, Canada
TL;DR: This study underscores the importance of E. faecalis as a reservoir of resistance and virulence genes and their potential transfer to humans through consumption of contaminated undercooked meat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial resistance and resistance genes in Escherichia coli isolated from retail meat purchased in Alberta, Canada.
Ali Ahmad Sheikh,Sylvia Checkley,Brent P. Avery,Gabhan Chalmers,Valerie M. Bohaychuk,Patrick Boerlin,Richard J. Reid-Smith,Mueen Aslam +7 more
TL;DR: The multiple associations found between AMR phenotypes and resistance genes suggest a complex nature of resistance in E. coli from retail meat, and hence the use of a single antimicrobial could result in the selection of resistant E.ccoli not only to the drug being used but to other unrelated classes of antimicrobials as well.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotypic analysis of Escherichia coli recovered from product and equipment at a beef-packing plant.
TL;DR: The objective is to identify sources of Escherichia coli on beef by characterizing strains of the organism on animals, equipment and product at beef‐packing plant.
