Incidence & Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Foodborne (Salmonella & Campylobacter) & Commensal Bacteria from the NAHMS Feedlot Cattle Study

Objective

Determine the incidence and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella, Campylobacter, E. coli, enterococcus, and C. difficile from feedlot cattle in the United States
