Isolation, Antimicrobial resistance and genotyping of Escherichia coli from selected wildlife in Sarawak

The potential for dissemination of pathogenic enteric bacteria by wild animal to human is of concern due to their ability to cause endemic and epidemic human diseases. Among the enteric bacteria, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli O157:H7) are recognized as an important cause of diarrhe...
