Description
Summary:Between June and September 2023, a total of 80 meat samples from pork and chicken meat were collected from 16 retail markets in La Plata, Argentina. Eighty-four highest priority critically important antimicrobial-resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i> and two <i>Salmonella</i> spp. were isolated. Resistance to ciprofloxacin and cefotaxime was observed in 65 and 49 <i>E. coli</i> isolates, respectively. Seventy-five <i>E. coli</i> isolates were multidrug resistant. Fourteen <i>E. coli</i> isolates from chicken meat showed resistance to three of the HPCIA. Resistance to third-generation cephalosporin was associated with <i>bla</i><sub>CTX-M</sub>. It is 15 times more likely to find HPCIA-resistant <i>E. coli</i> in chicken meat than in pork.
