Studies from University of Tunis El Manar Update Current Data on Campylobacter coli [Emergence of Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance (PMQR) Genes in Campylobacter coli in Tunisia and Detection of New Sequence Type ST13450].

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Tunis El Manar in Tunisia investigated the occurrence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes in Campylobacter coli isolates collected from broilers, laying hens, and poultry farm environments. The study found that all 139 C. coli isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin, and high rates of resistance were observed for other antibiotics as well. The study also identified the presence of PMQR genes in the isolates, including a new sequence type ST13450. This research provides important insights into antibiotic resistance in C. coli isolates in Tunisia and globally. [Extracted from the article]
