Raw meat-based diet for pets: a neglected source of human exposure to < em > Salmonella < /em > and pathogenic < em > Escherichia coli < /em > clones carrying < em > mcr < /em > , Portugal, September 2019 to January 2020
ConclusionSome RMBDs from European brands available in Portugal can be a vehicle for clinically relevant MDR Salmonella and pathogenic E. coli clones carrying genes encoding resistance to the last-line antibiotic colistin.
