Presence of Heavy Metal Resistance Genes in Escherichia coli and Salmonella, and Analysis of Resistance Gene Structure in E. coli E308

ConclusionsThe present study demonstrated that HMRGs were widely present in E. coli and Salmonella isolated from chicken farm and retail meats, and the association between HMRGs with DRGs and ARGs may lead to the co-resistance of heavy metals and other antimicrobials.
