  • Title: Detection of florfenicol resistance genes in Escherichia coli isolated from sick chickens.
    Author: Keyes K, Hudson C, Maurer JJ, Thayer S, White DG, Lee MD.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 2000 Feb; 44(2):421-4. PubMed ID: 10639375.
    Abstract:
    Florfenicol is an antibiotic approved for veterinary use in cattle in the United States in 1996. Although this drug is not used in poultry, we have detected resistance to florfenicol in clinical isolates of avian Escherichia coli. Molecular typing demonstrated that the florfenicol resistance gene, flo, was independently acquired and is plasmid encoded.
