Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the antimicrobial resistance of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) and enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) strains causing traveler’s diarrhea (TD) and to investigate the molecular characterization of antimicrobial resistance genes to third-generation cephalosporins, cephamycins, and quinolones. Overall, 39 EAEC and 43 ETEC clinical isolates were studied.
