Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparative antimicrobial susceptibility profile across beef, chicken, and pork samples. On the left a figure relating to the number of isolates per meat sample and on the right a figure relating to the percentage of resistance per meat sample. FOT—fosfomycin-trometamol; TET—tetracycline; SXT—trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; C—chloramphenicol; CN—gentamicin; CIP—ciprofloxacin; AMC—amoxicillin-clavulanic acid; AMP—ampicillin; CFZ—cefazolin; CFO—cefoxitin; CRO—ceftriaxone; CAZ—ceftazidime; ATM—aztreonam.
Article Snippet: Antimicrobial sensitivity was determined using the disk diffusion method [ ], with seven distinct classes of antimicrobials: (1) β-lactams: ampicillin (AMP, 10 μg), amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (AMC, 10/20 μg), cefazolin (CFZ, 30 μg), cefoxitin, (CFO, 30 μg), ceftriaxone (CRO, 30 μg), ceftazidime (CAZ, 30 μg), cefotaxime (CTX, 30 μg), aztreonam (ATM, 30 μg), and imipenem (IPM, 30 μg); (2) quinolones: ciprofloxacin (CIP, 5 μg); (3) sulfonamides: sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprim (SXT, 1.25/23.75 μg); (4) tetracyclines: tetracycline (TET, 30 μg); (5) aminoglycosides: gentamicin (CN, 10 μg); (6) amphenicols: chloramphenicol (C, 30 μg); and (7) fosfomycin: fosfomycin/trometamol (FOT, 200 μg; Oxoid Ltd., Basingstoke, Hants, United Kingdom).
