Prevalence and typing of antibiotic-resistance bacteria in bulk tank milk in Israel

Screening of bulk tank in dairy farms, cattle and small ruminants, for antibiotic-resistant bacteria, specifically ESBL-producing Enterobacterales, Methicillin-resistant Staph. aureus, and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis/faecium. Sample size 100 farms, distributed throughout the country. Resistant bacteria were isolated from selective media for genotyping and antibiotic sensititivy testing. Farm managing parameters were collected via questinaire.
