Antimicrobial Resistance Of Escherichia Coli Isolates In Pig Farm Workers, Normal And Diarrhoeic Pigs

Antimicrobial Resistance Of Escherichia Coli Isolates In Pig Farm Workers, Normal And Diarrhoeic Pigs

The enumeration of coliforms in faeces can be per formed by both the spread plate method or Most Probable Number ( MPN ) techniques , although MPN total coliform counts are significantly higher ( P<0.05 ) . In so lid agar media enumeration , MacConkey , Desoxycholate , Eosin-Methylene Blue an...
