Mathematical model of plasmid-mediated resistance to ceftiofur in commensal enteric Escherichia coli of cattle.

Antimicrobial use in food animals may contribute to antimicrobial resistance in bacteria of animals and humans. Commensal bacteria of animal intestine may serve as a reservoir of resistance-genes. To understand the dynamics of plasmid-mediated resistance to cephalosporin ceftiofur in enteric commens...
