Mitigation of fluoroquinolone-resistant Campylobacter in cattle

The main goal of this application is to identify critical control points and mitigation strategies for fluoroquinolone(FQ)-resistant Campylobacter in ruminants by using an integrated approach. To achieve our goal, we will pursue the following three specific objectives:1. To identify critical control points for mitigating the development of FQ-resistant Campylobacter in cattle by evaluating the selective pressure imposed by different FQ treatment regimens.2. To understand the effect of FQ treatment on gut microbiota and FQ resistance by using a metagenomics approach3. To develop outreach and training programs to reduce FQ-resistant Campylobacter.
