Prevalence and factors associated with multidrug resistant Escherichia coli carriage on chicken farms in west Nile region in Uganda
Infections with multi-drug-resistant (MDR) pathogens in food-animals threaten public health and food security. However, the epidemiology and factors associated with MDR Escherichia coli (MDR E . coli ) on Ugandan farms are not well known. This study investigated the prevalence, resistance patterns and factors associated with MDR E . coli carriage on chicken farms. Escherichia coli was isolated from each of the 158 chicken farms sampled. The disc …
Public perceptions of Ebola vaccines and confidence in health services to treat Ebola, malaria, and tuberculosis
